Detailed Tour Descriptions

Carefully researched and proven tour routes providing breathtaking views and scenery, notable break points and exciting riding, while allowing for the highest level of guest safety possible. If the group includes riders of a wide range in age or physical fitness, ABT will customize the tour to accommodate all participants. All tours may be shortened, given various start points. With coach support, riders wanting a shorter or less strenuous ride can join the tour in progress at a designated point, or cut a ride short if they tire.

Zoo to Blue, The Cross-Town Cruise

Starting near the Zoo, this tour loops past the Zoo and through beautiful Balboa Park before heading out over rolling hills to the exclusive enclaves of Banker's Hill, Mission Hills, and Presidio Park. It's a quick downhill run from the park to historic Old Town and an extended break to allow riders time for self-guided shopping and/or sight seeing. The tour resumes with a short dash to Mission Bay and its superb bike trails, concluding at the Mission Bay Visitors Center or in the park at Crown Point. For a memorable and unsurpassed look at both the old and new San Diego this tour is hard to beat!

Bay to Breakers
San Diego Bay & Coronado Island

A more ideal coastline biking venue is hard to imagine. Starting from a variety of locations in the beautiful Seaport Village area, this tour proceeds to the Coronado Ferry for a quick ride to the island. Departing the ferry, riders follow a quiet scenic route to the famous "Silver Strand" traversing miles of bike paths sandwiched between the San Diego "Bay" on one side, and Pacific Ocean "Breakers" on the other. Only spectacular homes and hotels break the scenery. The return trip back down the strand includes a stop at the famous Hotel Del Coronado where refreshments and a break on the patio overlooking the ocean are fitting reward for the preceding miles. From there, it's a short glide back to the ferry, and the ending point.
