San Diego is truly the best of California riding if you ask me - but Orange County (just north of SD) is not that far behind. Most cities have made it a point to have bike lanes or trails and then there is the ocean - nothing better than riding along the Pacific. OC and SD also have some great mountain biking trails. Right now in my office, it's beautiful sunny out, 70 degrees and I'm staring out at the snow covered mountains. Last night did a MTB in Weir Canyon. Got to my peak before turning around and surveyed all the greenery, our wildflowers are just peaking. So I was surrounded with yellow fiddleheads and California Everlasting, could see the mountains with all that snow and it was nice out, shirt sleeves and shorts. Ahhhhh great place to be if you love to ride...
But remember this - average home price in So Cal - 3 bedroom, 2 bath $700,000!!!!!!!
edited to add: There is a world of ddifference between Nor Cal and So Cal. NC is beautiful - much "wilder" than SO Cal but also has difficult weather - overcast, rain, fog, rain etc. So Cal is a desert, very arid. SD gets the best of both worlds as it gets a great breeze from the ocean.
