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...

I always bring at least one friend and make them take off their skates and then run barefoot in the ocean. Sooooo FUN...
Any guesses? This project will be completed and ready to have fun on SOON...
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...

Live Longer & Be Happier! “When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking,” wrote Sherlock Holmes author Arthur Conan Doyle in Scientific American...
Join Us on Sept. 23 or 24. On our Mission Bay Bike Tour we will get to view or even visit this annual celebration. It's just across the bay from our 'normal' Bike Tour route.

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...
