SDBC Weekly Update

Amazon Smile

Do you shop at Amazon.com? If so, it' easy for you to help SDBC receive donations from Amazon to SDBC. Just use the “Amazon Smile” charitable process in your account. Amazon Smile funnels a small percentage of their eligible purchase revenue to SDBC if you activate Amazon Smile in your account and choose “San Diego Bicycle Club” as the beneficiary nonprofit.

Instead of logging in through "amazon.com" you log-in through “smile.amazon.com.” Very easy to use. It is EXACTLY the same shopping experience. Nothing changes except SDBC receives contributions from Amazon.

A Note From the Training Director
San Diego Bicycle Club Saturday Ride Reminder

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Club's Saturday Rides remain suspended.  We will restart the rides as quickly as possible once permitted.

We encourage you to ride your bikes either solo or in very small groups.  Some riders have been using UCC as a starting point and riding our usual routes. If you do so, please do not linger and form groups of more than a few cyclists.  If you wish to meet cycling friends there, please consider arriving before or after 8:30 to help reduce the number of riders leaving the parking lot at that time, or consider meeting in the vicinity.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Please stay healthy and safe so we can look forward to riding with you again in the future!

Charlie Sykes
SDBC Training Director
