I get to look at the San Diego skyline for a while, the ocean itself for a while, some absolutely gorgeous old homes said to be occupied by retired admirals, and a golf course. In the summer, I also get to rest my eyes on innumerable coeds heading for the beach.

I go round and round until I've reached my age. I can stop almost anywhere and find food or beverage. The only obstacles I encounter are tourists riding rental bikes (particularly the surreys) going the wrong way on the street because they *think* cyclists are supposed to ride against traffic.

Boring? Not to me. The only thing (which makes me laugh when it happens) is that, without a cycling computer on board, I would lose count of the laps.

Here's a shot of the bridge I have to cross to get to Coronado. Unfortunately, it's closed to cycling.
