Easy ride up the coast to Oceanside Harbor, stop at Nautical Bean Coffee Company, ride back, stop at Java Depot for water if needed.
Bring two bottles of fluid and be ready to roll at 8:30. A group photo will be taken at the harbor and sent to you afterwards with ride write-up.

* There may or may not be an SDBC ride leader in attendance. If there is not, and no one assumes overall leadership, please ride safely together and maintain a spirit of camaraderie, looking out for one another.
I will appreciate if someone takes responsibility to have the group pic taken by a roving photographer. Extra credit: If you get the full names & emails of any new riders in the pic, and do a little ride write-up.
Please forward whatever you can get to me.
Thank You

| SDBC 2015 Club Photo |
SDBC 2015 Club Photo will be on June 13th!
Save the date as we'd like to have a great turnout!
Everyone in the photo should be wearing the new 2015 kit.
If you haven't ordered your kit yet, what are you waiting for? Not sure of your size? The Pactimo fit kit is available to try on for sizing at UC Cyclery.
Clothing can be ordered here: http://sdbc.org/sdbc-clothing/
Orders take about 6 weeks to receive, so it is too late to get your order in and have it in time for the club photo, but you can still place an order.

| Memorial Day Ride a success! |
SDBC hosted it's first (I think) organized ride on Memorial Day. Leaving from UC Cyclery at 8:30, we had about 22 riders despite a slight sprinkling of rain before roll out which thankfully dissipated shortly thereafter. The group held together well with both Dan Goese and Niven Howlett alternating as whips. At Soledad Memorial we dismounted and viewed the plaques honoring those that served their country as soldiers. After our group pic, we rode down Cardeno Dr. out to Point Loma, turned around, and stopped for coffee in OB, before returning via the bike path to UCC.
Thanks to all who were able to attend. Hope you made some new friends.
Lot of fun and hopefully we'll do this again next year.
