The Coronado ride is a yearly tradition we’re happy to bring back, and we are looking forward to the long, flat miles. You have two options for a start location. Either way, we take the ferry back across to the Convention Center. If you time it just right, you might be able to pick up a cup of coffee at the ferry landing.
Full Route: Start at Bird Rock Coffee Encinitas
We roll at 8 AM sharp. Bird Rock Coffee is located at 947 S Coast Hwy 101 Suite D101, Encinitas, CA 92024. We’ll gather at the south side of the coffee shop for pre-ride coffee and bananas provided by Bird Rock and pastries provided by Swami’s. Before and after the ride, Swami’s members receive a 15% discount on beverages and pastries.
