Lake Hodges Bike Ride

I flew out to San Diego for the WSJ D Conference yesteday and got here a couple hours early.

I rounded up a few friends and headed down to B&L Bikes in Solana Beach and rented three mountain bikes and headed up to Lake Hodges.

This ride was suggested Chris Ochs and Matt Blumberg from Return Path.

The ride info and trail maps came from an awesome mountain biking site called MountainBikeBill.com.  If you ride on the california coast, I can't imagine living without this site.  The picture and map on this post also came from MountainBikeBill as I forgot to bring my camera with me.

We rode for a couple hours, worked up a good sweat in the 95 degree heat, climbed one killer hill, and avoided all the rattlesnakes that we were warned about.

I love biking when I am travelling on business. The ability to see the sights, work up a sweat, and have a nice long talk with a couple business friends is really unbeatable.

Where are you gonna eat? We love Lake Hodges. You picked a good venue. It's also great for trail runs.

Also, I'm guessing you're not staying through the weekend...but the Hillcrest Farmers Market is great...and a perfect spot to pick up gifts for the family.

Or you could leave out the sweating part and take up golf ;-)
