SDBC 2016 Sponsors

We have some new sponsors this year - Chrome Dome Caps, Overland & Shanahan Wealth Advisors, Sheffield Platers, Purely Cloud, and Pro Athlete Law Group.

Emerald Textiles will continue as our title sponsor, UC Cyclery is continuing as our official bike club and sponsor of the men's and women's Cat 1/2 teams, and many sponsors that have supported us for years will continue to support us this year.

Please support our sponsors. Without them SDBC would not be able to maintain the racing teams and other activities that we have all enjoyed. Visit the sponsors page on the SDBC web site to view more information about each of our sponsors or click the logos to go the specific sponsor's web site.

SDBC is now a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

We received the IRS determination letter a few days ago. This means that donations made to SDBC are deductible from your taxes.

Effective date was December 3, 2015. IMO - if you drive your car to the Saturday rides, or to board meetings, or to other SDBC events where you will be donating your time, you may deduct the mileage. Your SDBC membership dues might also be deductible. Please confirm this with your accountant/tax preparer.

If you work for a company that offers matching funds for charitable contributions, ask your HR department to include the San Diego Bicycle Club as a qualified 501(c)(3). We can supply your company with a copy of the IRS determination letter.

If you have any leads on someone or a business who you believe might like to sponsor the race (how about you???) please give me a call. Everyone loves a race with lots of “primes”, SDBC has over 400 members, if each member acquired just one prime, this year’s Barrio Logan Grand Prix could give out 400 prime prizes!!!

Speaking of needing your help; it’s time to start signing up for one of the many race day volunteer positions. Positions available are in the areas of; registration, course set-up and tear-down, course marshalling, hospitality, expo area, equipment truck driver, etc.

Safety Tip of the Week:

Cycling Savvy is a national bicycle traffic safety program that is starting to offer their courses online.  Here is a free preview to one of their online courses, "Hacking Traffic Flow", emphasizing the benefits of moving early for left turns, merges and diverges.

http://online.cyclingsavvy.org/courses/cyclingsavvy-mastery-in-development/lectures/605517 (12 minutes)

HELP FIX THE PROBLEMS ON SAN DIEGUITO ROAD:

DO YOUR PART to help encourage the City of San Diego to repair the problems on San Dieguito Road.  The more people reporting potholes, cracks and bumps, the more likely the City is to get out there and fix them.  Here is the link to the website to report street problems:

http://apps.sandiego.gov/streetdiv/

The problematic section that is within City limits is on San Dieguito Road between Caminito Pacifica Trail and Winland Hills.  Wouldn't hurt to mention the need for sweeping as well.

Of course, you can use this link to report street maintenance issues anywhere in the City.

Remember: your SDBC membership includes membership in the San Diego County Bike Coalition which includes a number of benefits. See the  coalition website at sdbikecoalition.org.
