8th Annual Holiday Lights Bike Ride
Our annual bike ride took place on Sunday, December 11. The Holiday Lights Bike Ride was recently voted as one of the top events in San Diego according to the San Diego Reader—and we agree.
See more photos of the event on our Facebook Page.
The Route
This year we hosted two routes:
- The 3-mile Full Ride is perfect for comfortable bike riders and people who would like to take a faster-paced ride around the community.
- The 1.75-mile Family-Friendly ride is a slower-paced ride required for those 8 years old and under, but open to anyone.
House Decoration Prizes
We awarded prizes ($25 Amazon gift cards, donated by the UPS Store) to the top 3 best-decorated houses along the route.

We also awarded prizes for best decorated bikes in the following categories:
- Kids non-lighted: $10 gift card
- Kids lighted: $10 gift card
