Day 3/4

Today is the first day of the Qualifying rounds. Traffic around Qualcomm is pretty bad according to the radio. Traffic on the freeway coming in was moderate. Although the bus route into La Jolla (Yes the buses go down Ardath rd La Jolla Pkwy) was pretty bad. It was backed up down the ramps almost to the I-52 when I passed by.

I do have some photos of the trip in and will post them tonight.

I decided to go in via Gilman drive. Gilman was pretty clear. Lots more bicycles today. And then I went up La Jolla Village Dr/ N.Torrey Pines Rd.

That was more what I expected. Phil and Tiger were already on the course when I went in. So I expect traffic through there was a lot heavier a couple of hours earlier.

The other thing I noticed was SDPD. They're all over the place. Writing tickets and towing cars. So if you plan on being in the area, be alert and obey ALL of the signs. Getting towed is expensive and the nearest yard is over by Miramar.
