Embark on the Bayshore Bikeway and Mount Soledad Loop, a moderate road cycling adventure that spans 44.9 miles (72.2 km) with 1364 feet (416 metres) of elevation gain. You can expect to complete this route in about 3 hours and 16 minutes. The ride offers a striking contrast, taking you from flat, scenic bay-side paths with views of the Coronado Bridge to the challenging ascent of Mount Soledad, where you'll earn expansive vistas over San Diego's coastline.
For the best experience, plan to start your ride early in the morning, especially if you want to avoid heavy traffic on the Mount Soledad climb. The Bayshore Bikeway section has little to no shade, so remember to bring plenty of water and sun protection, particularly when you are on the exposed Silver Strand. This combined route is ideal for road cyclists who have good endurance and are looking for a varied ride.
This route stands out by blending two distinct cycling environments into one memorable journey. You'll enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the Bayshore Bikeway, offering continuous views of the water and city skyline. The second half then tests your climbing ability, rewarding your effort with the iconic 360-degree panoramic views from the Mount Soledad National Veterans Memorial, a truly unique landmark.
