Held in the scenic area of Point Loma, the San Diego International Triathlon starts in
Spanish Landing and heads towards Cabrillo National Monument. Along the way you
will ascend Canon Rd and do a few rollers as you pass the Fort Rosecrans National
Cemetery and various Navy research centers. You will do two loops of the rollers and
then descend Canon Rd and back to Spanish Landing. It is in my opinion a Roadies
course with the climb on Canon and the rollers.

As a RECOVERY RIDE I recommend this easy ride North on the coast to Oceanside.
Take some time to look around the scenery is very relaxing. By the way, the graph
makes it look harder than it really is.

A great beginners ride. Starting in Del Mar head South on the coast and turn LEFT on
Carmel Valley Road. There is a little bit of traffic to contend with but this is San Diego.
Make a RIGHT turn onto El Camino Real and about 50 meters from the corner is the
access to the bike path. Be careful there is a short (5 meters) steep dirt entryway and a
quick right turn at the bottom.
This is now a dedicated bike path with NO CARS. Watch for oncoming cyclists, dogs
(should be leashed) baby joggers and so on but NO CARS. Head EAST on the bike path
which goes as far as Rancho Penesquitos. Make a U-TURN and head WEST back to
the coast.
As you can see from the elevation profile you ascend gradually going EAST and
descend going WEST. Also on the profile you will see a RIGHT on Portofino (MILE
21) and do part of Wango Tango on Mango back to the coast. As a RECOVERY RIDE
I recommend this easy ride North on the coast to Oceanside. Take some time to look
around the scenery is very relaxing. By the way, the graph makes it look harder than it
really is.
