Also keep in mind you can bike to work in San Diego every day. I last filled my gas tank in December. It’s nifty!
Yes, there were a lot of bike trails in the area. I definitely lusted for my bike.
But I’m back in the rainy northwest, already committed to making up for not hitting 300 miles last month…
