Lots of great stuff on offer here, including thirst for great beer -
although great beer is everywhere now... and I'm at home.
I like to mix in these dirt roads/trails: Echo Valley/Proctor Valley;

I've never biked out in San Diego, but I've taken two awesome spring break
trips to go to breweries and play golf with a buddy. This thread is making
me long for being out there for a few days. I'd give anything to play a
round at Goat Hill Park in O-Side, grab lunch at Pizza Port, hit all my
Robert's suggestions were spot-on. Those are all pretty close to I-15 and

Off the top of my head:
Peñasquitos Preserve is a nice place to ride. The South side of the creek is
basically a fire road while the North side is a bit more challenging. Nothing a
rigid bike with decent tires couldn’t handle. I used to commute through there
on 29 x 2” tires and I could easily
Hey group. I recently moved to San Diego and was wondering if any list members
had any suggestions/ recommendations for San Diego County area. Something
within a 30-45 drive from the city. Looking for fire road/ mixed terrain/
gravel/ dirt, anything really that’s gets away from traffic. I
