All,
I have joined the Sponsorship Committee for the City of Escondido for the Tour of California. The City of Escondido needs local businesses to purchase sponsorships of various levels to help defray the cost of the event. Keep in mind since Escondido is the host city for the first stage, TOC participants will be in the area a day or two prior to the start to coordinate the event, which, while very cool is costly.
The committee is chaired by Alfredo Velasco, a newish member of NCCC that has joined many of our long Saturday rides. If you have not met him yet that is because he is usually on the front of the pack.
Below are a few links to help explain the process.
If you know of anyone that would be interested, please reach out to me or Alfredo.
