Bike the Bay 2023 – San Diego
Bike the Bay is an annual fun ride where riders cruise around San Diego Bay and cross over San Diego’s iconic Coronado Bay Bridge. The 2023 ride will take place on Sunday, August 27.
The 25-mile ride is open to everyone, non-competitive, and mostly flat, making it accessible for riders of a wide range of fitness levels. San Diego Mountain Biking Association also hosts an optional off-road option of the ride, an 8-mile loop around the Otay Valley Regional Park.
Bike the Bay Route
The ride starts and finishes at Embarcadero Marina Park in downtown San Diego. Riders follow Bayshore Bikeway and travel through the towns of National City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, and Coronado along the route.
For the mountain bike option, mountain bikes or cross bikes are recommended as there is gravel and loose dirt on this optional route. Proceeds from off-road option go to SDMBA to help improve trail access for mountain biking around San Diego County.

The text for “Bike the Bay – San Diego 2022” indicates the event is on Sunday August 28th. But the event details say October 28, 2022.
Thanks for pointing this out John. Just updated it.
It seems that all the Bike the Bay links are dead or outdated. Would love to do this event. Anyone have a more current status for it? Sunday, August 28, 2022 still a potential date?
Not sure what’s going on with their site. Facebook page is still up, but hasn’t been updated lately https://www.facebook.com/bikethebaysd/
I am interested in attending, but would need to rent a road bike as I’m flying into California. Is there a convenient bike shop that would have bikes for rent?
Hi Gail. Try Wheel Fun Rentals, which is near the bay: https://wheelfunrentals.com/ca/san-diego/wyndham-san-diego-bayside/rentals/
Hi Chris – are you an organizer? Their website still says the event is being held August 23, 2020. I only noticed the Aug. 23 date a while ago and started training. Can’t make the 28th. Can you help make the update on the website?
Hi Micheal, We didn’t organize the event, just shared it on our calendar. The information on their Facebook page appears up to date and says the event is on the 28th. Hope that helps!
