Itinerary description
Sorry, don't have any pictures of this one. It is a fun beginner ride in downtown San Diego. I love this ride because it has some neat technical features. It has a short steep switchback as well as some other short steep climbs. At the top of the switch backs there are a few easy loops with some BMX jumps. SDMBA had their skills clinic here a couple of years ago. Some of the trails are kind of rutty but that makes it fun to learn how to navigate those things. If you live in the city and need a workout when you don't have the time or inclination to drive out of the city this is a nice option. It's impossible to get lost and you can loop it in quite a few different ways depending on what you want to do. Hopefully my gpx upload gives you the general idea and you can ride it or make your own loop once you get there! By the way, the traffic is heavy at times so use a bike bell and be courteous to other trail users and watch your speed around the blind corners.
