| There are only a couple of bike routes
| |
| | before you get there you will take Old
|
| doable from San Diego CA to Yuma AZ and
| |
| | Hwy 80 about 10 more miles, which then
|
| they are indeed challenging, especially
| |
| | connects to I-8 for a bit for about 10
|
| consider the mountain pass. You go from
| |
| | miles over the 4,000 foot pass, that is
|
| Sea Level to just over 4,000 feet in
| |
| | one heck of a climb indeed. Next you will
|
| elevation. It is a wicked ride with lots
| |
| | get off on Hwy 98 and take that to
|
| of hills and heat. Often there are severe
| |
| | Calexico about 38 miles, but it is most
|
| crosswinds and you get rather sandblasted
| |
| | all down hill and refreshing, well
|
| on a bicycle. The route is a little
| |
| | considering the dusty desert and winds.
|
| tricky for the first 22 miles, but may I
| |
| | But you are now on the flats and you can
|
| suggest you start out at the Hotel Del
| |
| | make a good clip across the desert.After
|
| Coronado to help work you into the route.
| |
| | Calexico you ride another easy, but
|
| The wind along the Pacific is brisk and
| |
| | rather boring 20 more miles to Evan Hewes
|
| always blowing.Now then starting from the
| |
| | Hwy, which is like a frontage road for
|
| Hotel Del you travel down Hwy 75 south
| |
| | awhile and then you will come to the 186
|
| about 9-miles and a beautiful ride with
| |
| | Hwy and go North to Araz Junction and
|
| the wind at your back. This will be the
| |
| | follow Araz Rd. to Yuma Crossing State
|
| last of the beauty for a while, the
| |
| | Park, where you will ride into Yuma, AZ
|
| warm-up will be nice considering the

| | on Business 8 or Fifth Street. You made
|
| future that lies ahead. Once you hit Palm
| |
| | it 177 miles, not bad for 12-hour ride
|
| Ave. you are ready for your trek Eastward
| |
| | now may I suggest cruising through the
|
| across the bottom of the state. Take Palm
| |
| | town to Barnes and Noble, as it is a
|
| Ave to Beyer Blvd North to Orange Avenue
| |
| | great pick-up point with an

| East, which turns into Olympic Parkway.

| Hwy 94, which you will endure.You will
