  1. I'll be in San diego area in a few days and wanted to do
    some easy mtn biking. The less steep uphills the better. Are
    there any good mtn bike rental places in there area. I've
    seen some that rent hourly for $12 an hour. I'd like to
    possibly rent one for the day for like 20-25 tops.

    Thanks.

    Why don't you go ride the boardwalk in Mission Beach then?
    That sounds like what you are looking for.

    Well, I *know* they rent rusty cruisers down there!

    TJ's snide humor (I hope?) aside, the easiest place around
    SD is probably Rancho Penasquitos (although it has lots of
    tough parts available); also Sycamore Canyon in Santee
    (though still messed up from fires last year).

    Not sure what to suggest re. rentals; best bet probably the
    Yellow Pages.

    I love when people ask for flat trails. I was being a smart
    @$$. I shouldn't do that. Mountaing Bike Warehouse would be
    a good place to start for bike rentals.

    If I am new to the sport as is clearly stated in the subject
    , what is wrong with looking for trail without steep
    uphills? I didn't say flat. As far as the ride down the
    boardwalk great suggestion. Give me the address and I'll
    make a detour to your Mom's house while I'm at it and she
    could do the riding when I get there.

    You might try looping the harbor. You will have to take the ferry for part of the ride but flat it is. Harbor drive kinda sucks. The roads in pretty bad shape, but since you will be on a mountain bike, it won't matter. The rest of the ride is pretty nice.

    Why don't you forget about mountain biking if you don't want
    to ride steep uphills? Better yet, why don't you take a
    Kokopelli's trip with one of those lame tour companies who
    drive you up the biggest climbs so you can go back to New
    Jersey and brag about how manly you are?

    That's a damn shame.
