2016 Christmas Toy Ride
San Dimas, California – The Southern California Velo Cycling Club (SC Velo) and Incycle Bicycle Stores are sponsoring a Christmas Toy Collection drive beginning on Friday, November 25th, 2016 and concluding on Saturday December 17^th, 2016.  A Toy Ride will be held on Sunday, December 18, 2016 to take the collected toys to the San Dimas Sheriff’s station so that they can be distributed to needy families.  All interested cyclists and area residents are invited to join with SC Velo riders to support this worthy cause by donating toys and/or participating in the ride.

New unwrapped toys can be left in collection bins at  Incycle Bicycle Stores in San Dimas, Chino, Pasadena, and Rancho Cucamonga ( see: http://incycle.com ) between November 25th  and December 17th. 

The SC Velo Toy Ride will depart from the San Dimas Incycle store on Sunday, December 18th at about 9:00 AM for an easy, no-drop, 1 hour+ ride to the San Dimas Sheriff’s Station to turn the collected toys over to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department representatives.
All toys collected as part of this drive will be delivered to kids of needy families by deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s San Dimas station.  Last year, the San Dimas station was able to help a large number of families during the Christmas holiday because of our Toy Drive.

The Southern California Velo Cycling Club (SC Velo) has a 12 year history working with the Sheriff’s Department and the City of San Dimas.  SC Velo also hosts the San Dimas Stage Race, assisted by Sheriff’s Volunteers, Reserves, Explorers, Mountain Rescue, and Mounted Posse.  The San Dimas Stage Race has supported these volunteer groups with donations.

SC Velo also frequently assists the Sheriff’s Department at city Safety Fairs with bicycle safety and bicycle helmet fittings.  This is the sixth year SC Velo has held the Christmas Toy Ride to collect toys for the children of San Dimas.  Bill McCusker of SC Velo, while also helping organize the toy drive, routinely donates several bikes each year. 

The San Dimas Incycle store also has a long history of working with the Sheriff’s Department.  They have supported the annual Baker to Vegas run, and made it possible for the station to purchase bike helmets at cost to be given out free at Safety Fairs.  Incycle also donates helmets to this event.  Incycle will also donate bicycles as gifts for this year’s toy drive.
