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.

The 24th annual Barrio Logan Grand Prix is on for 2021. That means your favorite bike club NEEDS your help. We have over 100 volunteer slots to be filled throughout race week. Let’s get out there and make this a great event. You can choose more than one job, or cover 2 time slots of the same job.

SDBC will be following whatever San Diego County health guidelines are in place on race day.

There will be a Thank You PARTY for all volunteers sometime following the event.

Here is the link to sign up.

Here is a little information on some of the jobs.

*Set up and tear down-bring work gloves, no flip flops.
*Truck drivers-for a large and a small box truck. You will drive the course to distribute/pick up equipment around the course. You drive, helpers handle equipment. Would be great if there were one driver for each truck who can do both set up and tear down.

Great to see so many of you back in the saddle last Saturday!

As a reminder, it is the policy of the San Diego Bicycle Club that electric bikes (e-bikes) are NOT allowed on any SDBC ride. This policy was adopted six years ago after determining e-bikes posed increased risk to other riders, and potential liability to ride leaders and officers & directors.

The Board of Directors will be re-examining this issue later this summer, with Training Director Charlie Sykes and the ride leaders making a recommendation to the Board. In the meantime, please keep all our riders safer by not using your e-bike.

Thanks! I’m looking forward to riding with you this Saturday.

Thank you!

Mike

Padres Pedal the Cause, Bound for Cures held their virtual event on May 8th. With over 1578 participants they have raised over $1.4 million this year for cancer research!! An incredible job during a pandemic.

SDBC's 6 team members pedaled for various reasons and loved ones while collectively raising over $6000 for the fight against cancer. Both Beril and Tyler clicked away a 100 miles, and Katherine Nadler and Dave Milder both completed metric centuries for the cause!! Good job crew!

Dave Milder was our superstar fundraiser with almost $4000 raised! Wow!! Katherine and Tyler were our #2 and #3 fundraisers raising $710 and $563 dollars respectively. All three of these fundraisers will receive gift cards for their efforts!

If you would like to donate you can still do so until May 31st here: https://support.gopedal.org/team/33748

Thank you everyone for your cooperation with the protocols we established to restart the rides last month. We anticipate returning substantially to our traditional Saturday procedures after June 15th when the State of California removes most COVID-related restrictions. Watch this space for updates.

Reminders:

Please keep driveways clear prior to rollout. There is enough room to spread out without blocking vehicle traffic.

Restrooms are not available at UCC before or after the ride. Please use Ralphs or inside the salon or CVS at the coffee stop.

A/B/C Rides start rolling out a little after 8:20

Development Rides start rolling out a little after 8:30

Be careful in the CVS parking lot riding to and from our coffee stop. It can be busy and many drivers are not expecting to see so many cyclists there.

Complete guidelines can be found on our website: https://www.sdbc.org/20210406-guidlines-for-restarting-saturday-rides

The San Diego Bicycle Club is a 75-year old not-for-profit California corporation. It became a 501(c)(3) charitable organization as recognized by the IRS in December 2015. In its By-laws, SDBC has a written non-discriminatory policy, which states: “All activities shall be nonsectarian and nondiscriminatory against any person by reason of race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic characteristics, or physical or mental disability.”

In July 2020 Board member Esther Walker, made a presentation to the Board of Directors requesting a working group be created to identify ways to reduce the barriers for people wanting to get into the sport of cycling. The Board agreed unanimously, and a working group was created.

At its September 2020 meeting a presentation was made by Esther and the working group. Directors unanimously agreed it was in the best interest of the Club and the community to expand cycling opportunities to a broader, more diverse audience. The working group recommended, and the Directors agreed, a different approach should be taken when evaluating SDBC events, programs, and its organization as a whole, saying it’s important to ask what barriers might keep people away, rather than assuming our good intentions are enough to make our activities equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The position of Community Engagement Director was created from an unfilled existing public relations position. Hilary Murdock was nominated, and Directors appointed her to that position. Hilary was elected to that position at the Annual Meeting of the Members in December 2020.

The Community Engagement Director and SDBC’s Community Engagement Working Group has prepared the following survey: https://data4us.wufoo.com/forms/sdbc-feedback/

Your thoughtful consideration is most appreciated.
