I've been asked to be a volunteer to escort groups of riders across the bridge. The ride sounds like fun. It's apparently the first time in many years that the Coronado bridge will be open to cyclists.

Kind of expensive for a 25-miles ride though ($55). :p

Oops, just read that the proceeds go to SDCBC, so I guess it's ok then.

BTW, this is a San Diego downtown-ish area ride; not the (Back?) Bay in OC. :)

Being able to legally ride over that bridge seems to be a pretty juicy carrot.

55 Bucks for a 25 mile ride? That's more expensive than gas!:eek:
