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.

    From the President
    San Diego Bicycle Club It’s a Weekend Of Racing in 2022

    The dates are official!

    • Barrio Logan Grand Prix - Saturday, May 14, 2022
    • Fiesta Island Time Trial #3* - Sunday, May 15, 2022

    The weekend of racing concept is supported by Ralph Elliott, who does the race announcing for both events, and FITT Director Mike Barreras. During our recent board discussion about BLGP, one of the top questions was, “How do we attract more cyclists to the event?" The Weekend of Racing is an attempt to do that.

    Several issues still need to be resolved including registration and state championships. We’ll talk more about this at our November BoD meeting on Tuesday, November 8th. You’re welcome to join us.

    And if you’re a cyclist who runs or works at a hotel that’s centrally located to Barrio Logan and Fiesta Island, let me know and let’s see if we can work out a package deal for LA area cyclists to spend the weekend racing and enjoying San Diego.

    Very exciting!

    Mike

    * Our 2022 Fiesta Island Time Trial Series has races confirmed for #1 - January 9th, #2 - April 17th (yes, It’s Easter Sunday), and #3 - May 15th . A 4th date is pending for October.

    A Note From the Volunteer Director
    San Diego Bicycle Club Volunteer Director Needed

    After serving so many years in this position, it is time for me to step down.

    If you have been enjoying the benefits of this club, it is time to step up and join the Board of Directors.

    The BOD meets monthly. The Volunteer Director’s job is simply to round up volunteers for our various events. Online volunteer sites make this task so much easier than when I started in this position. Our great club members never fail to step up when needed to get the job done.

    Please contact me if you are interested. I would be happy to share more information.

    A Note From the Volunteer Director
    San Diego Bicycle Club Looking for Someone to Take the Lead on the Borrego Ride and Camp

    After 20 years, Team Webb has decided it's time to pass the baton on this trip. We are looking for someone to take the reins, hopefully, and keep it going.

    This is a 2 day event, riding from Mira Mesa Park and Ride to Borrego Palm Canyon Campground and returning the next day. Sag vehicles carry your camp gear. SDBC provides dinner and breakfast. Everyone helps with cooking and camp clean up.

    Keep it the same? Change it up? That would be your call. If no one steps up, there will be no trip this year.

    We are willing to help.

    Contact Linda with your questions and ideas.
