well I had a fun time exploring the San Diego area. It still hasn't even rained a drop yet so far! the town was so fun to explore especially with the Brompton I got a three day pass on the trolley and explored the area here is my Brompton on the trolley!
There was also a multi-cultural festival in town and the San Diego beer run it was just amazing biking around and checking everything out on bike. The more I biked the more I realized how ridiculous driving a car looked I'd see cars wait in line to get into the parking lot and have to then have to hunt for a spot then when they left they would be waiting in line to exit where with me I could just zip into the parks ride slowly through the crowds to explore and just move on to the next spot without having to find parking or wait! I saw a ferry that went to Conrado Island across the water from downtown so I decided to pay 3.50 folded up the bike and hopped on!
Once I got to the other side I stumbled on a beach and decided to take a little break and enjoy the scenery!
By the time I got done it was getting late I had talked on the phone with a friend for awhile I decided to bike around to get back instead of taking the ferry back which was about a 10 mile ride but it was simply beautiful the sun was setting and I was riding right along the coast the whole way south! At one point I met another guy that was biking along and we chatted for awhile and he was from out of town too he was trying to find his way back to downtown San Diego so with a few dead end turns we eventually started heading the right way It was getting late at this point so we parted ways when I found the next trolley stop and took that back to my friends house for the night.
The next day I went on a meetup ride at 830am with the local bike club Team San Diego that trains for: http://www.aidslifecycle.org/ every year a event that goes on in June its a 7 day 600 mile Fundraiser Ride. So for this ride we went on a 30 mile ride from mission bay up north stopped at a Starbucks and looped back down it was the perfect way to meet local cyclists and explore the area! I didn't have my big rear pack on just my front bag only partly loaded so I felt like a weight was lifted off my bike literally I was right up at the front with the little wheeled folding bike keeping up with them and they couldn't believe it! Overall it was a very fun ride I got to know Ride Leaders Matt and Doug here a shot at the end when we were all done!
Well after that I did some more exploring around the area I also stopped by a bike shop to get a few supplies and then headed back later that evening.
The third day I didn't do any biking for a change I just relaxed with my friend Tamara and took it easy. On the last day I decided to go to the Aqua Spa for a day of relaxation they had a Groupon special for half off so I got to use the spa for the day for only 10$ sounded great to me! It was about 11 miles away so I decided to bike on over and once I got there to my surprise the lockers were Brompton Friendly meaning they actually fit inside here is a shot!
It was so nice I hit up the steam rooms and hot tubs and took several showers and used the nap room I definitely felt refreshed and recharged to resume the rest of my trip the next morning by the time I was done it was getting dark so I made my way back once I got back we chatted for a bit played some board games for one last night of fun before leaving my Friend Tamara the next moring. Well that's it for this page in the blog hope you enjoyed it thanks for reading!
