This combined route offers a striking contrast, blending the relaxed atmosphere and continuous water views of the Bayshore Bikeway with the rigorous physical test and rewarding panoramic vistas of the Mount Soledad climb. You'll cruise past the historic Hotel del Coronado and Silver Strand State Beach before tackling the challenging ascent to the Mount Soledad National Veterans Memorial, where 360-degree views await. This 44.9 miles (72.2 km) road cycling loop, with 1364 feet (416 metres) of elevation gain, is rated moderate and typically takes around 3 hours and 16 minutes.
To make the most of your ride, plan to start early, especially if you want to avoid heavy traffic on the Mount Soledad portion. The Bayshore Bikeway offers little to no shade, particularly along the Silver Strand, so bring plenty of water and sun protection. The route is predominantly paved, but some on-road bike lanes on the eastern side of the bay can be a bit bumpy.
This route is notable for its diverse cycling experience, seamlessly blending flat, scenic bay-side riding with a significant climb. It connects various communities including Coronado, Imperial Beach, and La Jolla, and is a segment of the California Coastal Trail. The Mount Soledad portion is often cited for offering some of the best viewpoints in the San Diego area.
