| SDBC Club Night at UC Cyclery |
  |
SAVE THE DATE! MONDAY MARCH 16, 2015
UC Cyclery will offer its biggest SDBC Discounts on "Club Night" Monday, March 16th between 6 and 8 PM.
We always have fun when Dave and his crew roll out the red carpet for SDBC! The club provides the beer and pizza, and Dave offers great discounts and in-store specials. If you have not renewed your membership – you will be able to on site!
Show your 2015 SDBC Membership Card on UC Cyclery Club Night and get these discounts:
- 20% off on parts and accessories (normally it's 10%)
- 10% off on bikes and Garmin products.
2015 SDBC membership card required for discounts.
Normally, Garmin products are excluded from discounting, and there is a $100 limit on bike discounts. All that changes on Club Night. Garmin is in, and the $100 limit is gone. So if you buy a $3,000 bike on Club Night you get a $300 discount.
Club Night discounts are the deepest ones offered all year by UCC to SDBC members. Don't miss out!

| SDBC Sunday Ride, 2/15 |
Great Western Loop (standard route)
|
* There will be no Sunday Ride leaving from UC Cyclery this week.
Leaves Jamacha Rd & Willow Glen Dr at 8:30 (map)
There is a BR stop approx 15 miles into the ride, but no fuel stops until the Lyons Valley Store (if needed), otherwise after regroup at Skyline Truck, we will continue on to the finish (mostly down hill).
Please feel encouraged to participate. Great Western Loop is quite scenic with few cars. There are long climbs, long descents, and a fast finish all the way from Jamul Dr, through Mexican Canyon, to Steele Canyon Rd. If you haven’t ridden GWL before, you are in for a treat; if you have, come along and relive the magic of one of San Diego's iconic rides. It will be challenging, rewarding, and doable!
Bring 2 bottles of fluid, and be ready to roll at 8:30. A group pic will be taken and sent to you afterwards with ride write-up.
Route available on Google Maps
On the route, the letters A through H correspond to our regroup spots.
Hope to see you.

| A Note from the Velodrome Director |
LAST CALL
Attention velodrome racers or anyone interested in the velodrome: the season is approaching and I have spoken to Dave at UC Cyclery about a deal on track bikes. SDBC members already get a 10% discount, but he said that if we can get a commitment on a number of track bikes to order there is more room to discount and the process is easier than one at a time. Contact me and let me know if you are interested in a track bike, and we can get with Dave to start the process in time for track classes and the racing season.
Also, if interested in joining the SDVA SDBC members get a 50% discount. Let me know and I will email you a waiver and the contact info for the SDVA .

| A Note From The Bike Coalition Liaison |
New Bike Coalition Website
Remember, SDBC membership includes membership in the San Diego County Bike Coalition which includes a number of benefits. See the new coalition website at http://sdbikecoalition.org.
Safety tip of the week: Ride at least FIVE FEET from parked cars. 20 mph is 30 feet per second. Do not count on your attention and reaction time to be able to dodge a door that suddenly opens in front of you. Just don't ride in the door danger zone in the first place.

| 2015 Free Bicycle Traffic Skills Course |
Are you a "D" rider? An "A" rider? Or between the two? This free course should be taken by everyone who rides a bike on public streets. Everyone! This course could save your life.
My wife Beth and I have been riding and racing with SDBC for 21 years and took this course a few months ago. We feel safer riding on the road and learned the most current rules of the road. This course is well worth a few hours of your time.
Taught by our local cycling hero Pete Penseyres (former record holder of RAAM) and the Oceanside bicycle coordinator Howard LaGrange.
