We Do Ride UNDER the Coronado Bridge! YES! The Coronado Bridge was completed in 1969. The bridge is over 2 miles long, and curves at an angle of eighty degrees towards San Diego which allows US Naval and other large ships to pass underneath. Architect Robert Mosher modeled it after Spanish Mission Churches, which are an important aspect of regional history and architecture. This is just one of the many beautiful spots we ride on our Coronado Bike Tour...
Ice Skating at the Hotel del Coronado starts today, November 17th! Many of our Coronado Bike Tour riders do this after our ride. Many of our Coronado Bike Tour riders do this after our ride. I always bring at least one friend and make them take off their skates and then run barefoot in the ocean. Sooooo FUN...
The bridge's curve allows for lower gradients while still meeting the Navy’s requirements because the bridge can be safely crossed by motorists while also allowing Navy vessels to pass under the bridge. A rider on our Coronado Bike Tour took this picture last week. Did it make it?...
Kate Morgan made plans for Thanksgiving weekend in 1892 to be with her married "boyfriend" at the Hotel Del. On the train there they got in a big fight. They got off the train mad at each other. She checked in to the Hotel Del by herself, walking the beach, hoping he would return. He never did. She was found dead with a shot to the head. Who shot her has always been debated. Some say it was self-inflicted, some say otherwise. Many say that room, # 3327 is truly haunted. I personally don't believe in ghosts BUT I wouldn't stay there...
Happy Birthday! We do our best to make all our tours FUN - it's so easy when it's a Birthday Celebration...
San Diego's Beautiful Skyline Day or Night! You only get these views if you come to Coronado! So many of our Coronado Bike Tour riders say they had no idea Coronado existed until joining us on a tour. So much to see everywhere you look...
1 gal from yesterday's ride was late getting on the Coronado Ferry - but of course, we waited for her...
It almost rained in San Diego in August! We've never been rained on any of our tours - until this one. Well, maybe a bit of an exaggeration as we felt DROPS of rain for the 1st 10 minutes! Then sun, sun and more sun - as usual...
August 2022 Full Moon of Coronado Bridge. Think I'll stay after our Coronado Bike Tour is over and see if it's as beautiful tonight. Photo by Chris Mannerino...
No Special Holiday...just another day riding bikes and celebrating LOVE...
"Amazing" is what most of our Coronado Bike Tour riders say when we arrive at the Hotel del Coronado. After having time to walk around the hotel and surrounding area a bit many say they will definitely return for at least 1 night. The $200 million expansion was a success...
We always love seeing the art of The Sandcastle Man on our Coronado Bike Tour. Yesterday was something special though, celebrating Memorial Day...
Don't be surprised if the next time you go to Coronado's beach you see a person zipping through the water (and flying into the air) while being pulled by a giant kite. The sport is called kiteboarding and it is the perfect mix of surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding and paragliding. Kiteboarders are able to ride continuously rather than sitting and waiting for waves like surfers...
In 1988 Armando was hired to cover up the Coronado Beach Sea Weed from recent storms. He decided to be creative and write something. It took a couple of years but what an incredible piece of art! Armondo never saw it from above until 2011 when Jenny and Molly Cooper hired a plane and showed him. Here's a video of him...
Some of our riders like a longer than normal route so we take them on the Silver Strand Bike Path with lots of Rest Stops. This is a great place for cyclists to enjoy the views as they pedal along the palm-tree-lined path leading from Coronado to Chula Vista...
Rain was Predicted - But SUN Everywhere! 90% of the time when rain is forecast here in San Diego it doesn't happen. Our Coronado Tour Bike Riders and the local Flamingos seem to like that! Just a 5 minute walk to the Marriott Hotel to see them...
YES, Feb 4th was 69° & Sunny with a Really FUN Group! Did you ever wonder why we always call San Diego our Paradise? Almost never too hot or too cold! Perfect weather for a bike ride...
San Diego Bike Riding Paradise! The weather is why I moved to San Diego 20 years ago. Yes, it does get cloudy or even rainy sometimes - but not too often. PERFECT weather for cycling...
Soooo many challenges this year - but I truly believe 2023 will be a GREAT year! Some say all you have to do is believe it and it will happen. Why not give it a try...
