I drove up there with my wife on Saturday night and she was surprised that I was able to find my way out too. The hills were nice and somehow seemed steeper in a car than they did on my bike. Downhills would have been more fun with full size wheels. I''m a bit more timid of a descender when I''m on 16" wheels -- you never know if there will be a wheel swallowing pothole.

Soledad instead of going around. Still got lost plenty of times up there--the real fun part comes when you realize that over a dozen streets in La Jolla are named La Jolla this or La Jolla that. It is however worth it; I hit my all time high speed of 53mph tearing down one of those damn La Jolla''s, with views of downtown SD and the Pacific Ocean alternating at every turn For a year I commuted from Pacific Beach to UCSD, and as I got in better shape, began taking the routes that had me humping over Mt.
