Terrific experience and a beautiful way to see the coastline. I haven’t rode a bike much in the past 30 years and despite popular folklore, I do think you can forget how to do it! :-). I would recommend you walk your bike across the intersection and get into the designated bike lane near the pick up spot. Makes for a much safer and enjoyable experience.
We opted to have low assist on the way to Encinitas but I was on full power mode after lunch for the ride back. It was great. Perfect 3 hours is to the town, lunch and back.
Loved it. Would have really liked a rear view mirror to see other cyclists, my friend and cars behind me. I wasn’t balanced enough to easily glance back but most people wouldn’t have that issue. Highly recommend! Ask for a basket to put your backpack vs having to wear it.
