It all depends on where you're looking from! We saw these Sand Dunes near the Hotel del Coronado on our Coronado Bike Ride and they looked like just normal Sand Dunes BUT a very creative worker, Mando Moreno, made them look a bit different from above...
San Diego truly has the best weather to ride bikes! Oh yes, rain is sometimes predicted but 90% of the time it doesn't! Even when it does rain it's mostly at night - on the coast where we ride anyway...
One of our teens requested seeing anything about the Military. So we gladly went out of our way a bit to Star Park where Memorial Day celebrations take place. The yearly service includes an hour-long salute, a Presentation of the Colors, the playing of the National Anthem, and guest speakers...
All of the original rooms are being revitalized BUT keeping the finishes intact, with contemporary design enhancements to bathrooms, furnishings, artwork and state-of-the-art technologies to elevate the level of comfort and luxury. During the reimagination of The Victorian...
Today's Coronado Bike Tour riders wanted to ride a bit more so we took them on the Silver Stand's separated Bike Path where we saw Egrets on the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge on one side and the ocean on the other side. We passed the Base where the Navy Seals train to this tunnel which brought us to the ocean beach...
First Time for Everything! We never had any riders ask to jump in the James Hubbel sculpture before...
I truly believe 2024 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...
San Diego Has a Beachfront Ice Rink! Join us for a Coronado Bike Tour and then go skating in shorts practically on the ocean edge at the Hotel del Coronado! This spectacular San Diego beachfront ice rink features stunning views of the Pacific & benefits Make-A-Wish...
San Diego is known as the Happiest City in America? Probably because we love riding bikes here! Come join us on our Coronado or Mission Bay Bike Tours.
Frank Baum Wrote the Wizard of Oz Here. On our Coronado Bike Tour today we visited the home where Frank Baum spent winters from 1904 - 1910. It's main street, Orange Ave., was the inspiration for the Wizard of Oz’s Yellow Brick Road and Hotel del Coronado inspired Emerald City. And there's quite a Love Story here too...
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...
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...
"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...
