Unlike some other bays in LA where the animals are running for their ever-loving lives, you can still find cute sea lions and other curious creatures. Additionally, it's clear out and the city's views of the bay are stunning. There's pretty sights from any angle, on land or sea. The bay includes Coronado island and circles SD proper and Point Loma. There's plenty of areas to drive around and explore the bay if you're not a boat owner. I highly recommend taking a boat ride on the bay though!

This is an incredibly frustrating race because I love the idea, but the execution is poor. It's…read morepart of the Holiday Bowl, which means that there is a big crowd with lots of energy and a parade to follow. The waterfront course is flat, the view is fabulous, and the cool breezes are very refreshing. The late start means you can sleep in, but December weather keeps it being from being too hot. So what's the problem? There is a wide range of people who run this race, including some people who were just standing around by the harbor and decided to sign up an hour before. I love the idea of making a race a family event, and think it's great the people who don't normally run decide to give it a try. However, new people aren't familiar with race etiquette and there are no corrals or rules for where people stand. The result is tiny children, walkers, and parents with huge strollers lined up in front of people who want to race. I was hoping things would improve when they added chip timing a few years back (no need for everyone to crowd near the front), but no such luck; I still spent the first couple of minutes trying to weave around the strollers and kids. This would be a great race for kids or as a first 5k (there's even a water station in the middle of the course), but I wouldn't suggest it if you're serious about racing. Oh, and take the trolley! With the parade and the football fans, you don't want to try parking.

This is the 2nd annual Ciclosdias event in San Diego, and I have to say this event was a major…read moreimprovement from their first. Last year, this event was organized on 30th Street in the South Park region. This year, Ciclosdias was set up in Pacific Beach, closing off Garnet St after Ingraham, and Cass Street. The event is free of charge. What I love about this event is that it's extremely family & pet friendly. The event's main purpose is to promote cycling in San Diego, but many attend with all types of bikes, long boards, skateboards & strollers. My husband and I were really excited for Ciclosdias this year because of the location. Pacific Beach is a very bike-friendly area, but also lends the perfect weather and location for an event such as this. During Ciclosdias, several streets are shut down for several hours in order to allow people to bike, walk, or skateboard freely. A ton of vendors, bands, and restaurants all participate, making this an awesome community, family, and pet friendly event. This is the day to enjoy SD's weather and city with the family.

They really make a huge difference and of course lots of water.

Ride started off in Little Italy. Nice!…read more My biggest complaint was that the route was not marked very well. Several riders, including my group got lost. We found another lost group who thought they knew how to get back on the correct route but ended up getting more lost. The other group was even using the written directions which they claim were not accurate. I can agree with some of the other reviews but think people need to know this if a fun event. Yes the expo is small but so are others including the San Diego RockNRoll expo which gets smaller each year even with the pushy make up vendors they now let in. The food was included for racers. Bottom line - I would do it again but hope to see improvements.

Dear Diary, Rode in…read morethe Gran Fondo again this year and have to say this was my favorite ride yet out of the 3 Fondo's I've done. The weather was perfect (cool start in the morning and warmed up as the ride progressed). We must have gotten to the start line early this year because we were near the front of the line as the ride began. Had no problems getting out of downtown however saw a couple of accidents along the way. Bummer.....hope all involved are ok. Road conditions were pretty much ideal however on Harbor Drive South of the Ballpark definitely needs some work both heading North and South. There were plenty of flats to be had by all. Fortunately I was able to make it through unscathed. For the most part, those in vehicles were patient and understanding in the fact that there were 1400+ riders driving through their neighborhoods. Of course there is always those certain individuals who don't have the patience and tend to lay on their horns. Much of that can be attributed to the riders themselves as there were many who would take up the entire road. Definitely a lack of etiquette on the riders part which I didn't notice in previous years. Both SAG stations were nicely stocked this year and I think there was a lesson learned from last years Fondo. Plenty of sandwiches, fruit, cookies and drink to be had by all. Nothing against motorcyclists because many of my friends ride, but there were plenty of douches on Otay Lakes Road this year. I'm not impressed that you're able to go 90mph and let us hear how loud your bike is while we are schlepping our asses out and back. This years Expo was somewhat of a disappointment as there were not nearly the amount of vendors as in years past. As usual, there was a beer garden and this year Sierra Nevada was the chosen company. A high upgrade over last years choice A couple of these post ride definitely did the trick. The meal itself wasn't as good as in years past either. The marinara sauce was very salty and there wasn't much of a selection to choose from. On a downside, the organizers of the Fondo seemed to be....well unorganized. I picked up my packet on Saturday before the ride, got home and realized I was given the wrong sized jersey. After the ride yesterday, I tried retuning my jersey which was still packaged only to find out that they did not have the size I ordered. I spoke with Lindsey and hopefully she will make it right before the LA Gran Fondo. We'll see how that plays out. A huge props to all the volunteers throughout the course and to the various police, EMT and fire departments who made this ride as easy as can be. The volunteers were friendly and encouraging throughout the ride. All in all, this Gran Fondo was a success!! Well diary, till next years Gran Fondo. Jim
