Bike The Bay Ride

Pedal across the Coronado Bay Bridge and along some of the county’s most scenic bayshore routes during the Bike the Bay Ride on Sunday, August 26. The non-competitive 25-mile ride will start at 7am at Embarcadero Marina Park South on Harbor Drive and will travel over the 2.1-mile bridge and along the expanded and upgraded Bayshore Bikeway. The relaxed ride, open to riders 12 years and older and recommended for all cycling abilities, will meander along bayside paths and down dedicated bike lanes through the quiet streets of Coronado, Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, and National City before concluding with post-ride festivities at Embarcadero Marina Park. Most riders can expect to complete the mostly flat course in two hours. Space is limited. Participants can register for $50 online. A portion of proceeds with benefit the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, a nonprofit group dedicated to making bicycling safer and more accessible for commuting and recreation in San Diego.
