Bicycle over the Bridge! – Sept 7th

Ride the Bridge – Bike the Bay

Local bicyclists for the first-time in more than a decade will get the opportunity to pedal across the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge and along some of the county’s most scenic bayshore routes during the Bike the Bay Ride.

This non-competitive 25-mile ride will start at 7 a.m. at Embarcadero Marina Park South on Harbor Drive in San Diego and travel over the 2.1-mile bridge and along the expanded and upgraded Bayshore Bikeway.

The relaxed ride, open to riders 14 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.

Registration is $50, including a commemorative T-shirt, and can be completed online at www.bikethebay.net. Mail-in forms can be obtained by calling 619-269-6873.

Proceeds from the Bike the Bay ride will benefit the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition (SDCBC), a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to making bicycling better in San Diego. The SDCBC provides educational programs, promotes awareness of bicyclists and bicycling issues in San Diego and acts as a voice for bicyclists to elected officials and decision makers throughout the San Diego region.
