49.6 miles

 

Up the San Diego County coast

Starting at my alma mater, UCSD, we cycle up North Torrey Pines Road, California 101. We ride through the beach towns of Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff by the Sea, Encinitas, Leucadia, and finally Carlsbad and Oceanside. At the harbor we rest, then head back. Most of this ride is fairly flat, but the final climb up the hill at Torrey Pines is substantial.
