eCoronado.com is a proud sponsor! This is the only time you can ride a bike over the Coronado Bridge…legally! Event Date: August 30, 2009 This non-competitive, community bike ride for riders of all abilities will take riders on a scenic and primarily flat ride around the San Diego Bay via the Bayshore Bikeway. Along the way, riders will travel through the surrounding cities of Coronado, Imperial Beach, Chula Vista and National City before finishing back at the start/finish line at Harbor Drive and Park Boulevard in downtown San Diego. Not only will the route travel through all five of these very diverse communities but it will also allow riders a rare opportunity to ride over the beautiful San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge along the scenic 25-mile route. All riders will return to San Diego for a post-ride festival with food, beverage and entertainment back at Harbor Drive and Park Boulevard.
