SDBC Weekly Update

Amazon Smile

Do you shop at Amazon.com? If so, it's 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.

San Diego Bicycle Club Saturday Rides Restart April 17th

Great news - our world famous Saturday rides restart on April 17th. The Board of Directors voted nearly unanimously to do so after reviewing new State guidelines, which said those who take part in outdoor cycling events were at low risk for contracting COVID-19. You can read it for yourself at: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/outdoor-indoor-recreational-sports.aspx

But we’re not out of the COVID woods yet. So we're taking precautions before roll-out. Training Director Charlie Sykes is working on that now. His report is up next.

Let’s Roll!

Saturday Rides Restarting April 17th

Get ready to see your SDBC Saturday Ride friends soon as the Rides restart in just over two weeks on April 17th. There will be modifications to the timing of group rollouts and some additional rules which will be published next week. Please watch this space for details. The A and B groups will roll out before 8:30--don't be left behind!



New SDBC Coffee Stop

SDBC's official Saturday coffee stop and Club sponsor, Solana Beach Coffee Company, has closed and the owner is looking for a new location in the coastal area. For now we have selected a new coffee stop in Solana Beach. It's Cafe LaTerre which is at the south end of the CVS building at 315 Hwy 101, a little north of the SBCC location. They just opened and are offering a 10% discount to SDBC members. The cafe will be adding additional seating over the next few weeks along with bike racks and some umbrellas. In addition to coffee drinks made from house-roasted beans, they offer an array of pastries and light meals.
