San Diego, Dec. 27

I'll be staying on Moore Street in San Diego. I've been doing some research and found a "Sea to Sea" trail. Do you know of it? Any good? However, I did read that about 75% of the trail has been destroyed by wild fires. Any less-traveled 2 lane roads with not a lot of hills that you know of? I'm not a big fan of climbing either!

We in So Cal call San Diego the promised land... the weather there is usually... PERFECT! Of course, it does rain in So Cal and around Christmas that's a possibility but generally it's cool (around 60's), alittle overcast and nice.

Looks of good riding in San Diego. Bikercheck should be able to give you some nice routes.

Hi Vroom... OK... one great flat ride is the Silver Strand on Coronado. It's 15 miles out and 15 back if I recall... there is a loop you can do around the island as well... great places to stop for lunch etc... it you ride there be SURE to visit Hotel Del Coronado. Very famous... it's where the President stays when he's in town (no matter who Pres is!) and the Christmas display is amazing.

Fiesta Island is also a regular ride spot for many... not sure how far it is all the way around, but you have a view of the water no matter which way ya go... I think you could extend it by doing several loops.

from where your staying, which is an area called Point Loma, you could also go up to Cabrillo National Monument. This would involve some climbing, but nothing steep... just a few miles of it...

I still think the coast is one of the best rides... if you avoid N Torrey Pines Rd, the climbing is very minimal, there are TONS of other cyclists at any given time on the road there, and lots of places to eat. There's something fun about riding along and watching the surfers catch waves...

It's stayed warm very late... still in the 80's! So heaven only knows what Dec will bring...
