Just returned from an amazing week in San Diego staying with a friend from Pacific Beach. The weather was incredible and we took full advantage of it with a hike through Torrie Pines and back along the beach, a walk through La Jolla and to see the seals, a hike up Cals mountain (not sure if this is correct name), but nice views along the way and from the top. I also rented a Specialized Allez Elite from B&L Bikes (they have two locations) and did a 35 mile ride up the coast, starting near Torrie Pines. I'll try to post some pics. soon. Oh, and the food. Amazing and not too expensive! Rubios' lobster tacos were awesome. We went a couple of times. We also had some fabulous sushi in downtown San Diego. Other than that, we probably visited about 20 bike shops. Pearl Izumi has an outlet up there that's definitely worth checking out (near La Jolla), and there are a lot of higher end shops that are worth stopping in just to drool. Luckily my friend is getting married on the bay next year, so I'm looking forward to going back!
