Then there's the Silver Strand, which will take you down to Imperial Beach and back (16 miles r/t).
What's great about rail trails is the hills are low rises. That back east ride would be beautiful.
DG, does it affect your ride time if you stop at the great Mexican restaurant on Orange Ave by Second st and fill up? They always have excellent margaritas, but that might affect how straight we ride.
