San Diego and Denver advice
 

Next week I'm heading out on the motorcycle to ride to San Diego..the girlfriend has a sister and we are going to visit..so I'm wanting advice on what to do while I'm out there because I will have a day or two where I can go explore on my own due to the ladies all going out

The girlfriend is riding on the bike to Denver with me to see my cousin and stay the night there then she is jumping on a plane and flying out the rest of the way..so from Denver until San Diego I will be riding solo and will spend an extra day in Denver after she flies out

So any advice on where to eat or where to go to see cool sights in either city

Piss on that dump stadium in Pile High

Was going to set it ablaze with an AIDS fire

Gonna need more info on what kinds of things you are into.

in Denver Cherry Cricket is a great place for a burger. Sweet Action has fantastic ice cream. You'd probably enjoy a trip to Mt. Evans or Manitou Springs on the Bike, if you did Manitou you could also do Pikes Peak instead of Mt. Evans.

Anything to do with history is good..breweries and distilleries..places with good BBQ or burgers..I actually really enjoy zoos and aquariums..car and motorcycle museums..minor league baseball games are always good..military history..Wild West history

I'm pretty easily entertained..I also enjoy the low key places that aren't major tourist traps..if that makes sense

Go to shotgun willys in denver. Big biker resturant. Don't google it before just go show up or youll ruin the experience

I would like to ride up Pikes Peak after getting a good burger..that sounds like a great day..thanks for the suggestion

Scripps Aquarium in San Diego is worth a look. You can drive by the Navy SEALs training place in Coronado Island but don't expect to get very close.

Don't know about San Diego, but Denver.

You're riding a bike. Duh, gotta go Biker Jim's for a great wild game sausage.

Crave if you want a crazy topped burger.

Tocabe for an indian taco.

Snooze for breakfast. get in line early.

History:
-Colorado History Museum

Breweries:
-There are like 150 in the Denver metro, and I haven't been to one I haven't liked.

Distilleries:
-Bear Creek Distillery is a nice, small place.
-Stranahan's has great whiskey, and I've heard their tours are good, but I haven't personally been there.

BBQ:
-Eh, it's Denver, not KC. I think Boney's downtown is decent, and I've heard good things about Smokin' Dave's up in Westminster.

Burgers:
-Cherry Cricket or Park Burger

Zoos and Aquariums:
-Denver Zoo is great. Time your visit with the elephant demonstrations.
-I'd skip the aquarium. I mean, it's OK, but it's like $18 and is probably worth about 1.5 hours at most.

Car and Motorcycle Museums:
-Forney Museum of Transportation

Minor league baseball:
-No, but we've got the Rockies. It's a great ballpark, and tickets are pretty cheap (you can easily find a spot for $20-$30).

Military history:
-Wings over the Rockies (more about general aircraft stuff than strictly military)

Morrison Inn for good Mexican food, very good margarita, sitting outside in the scenery of Bear Creek, CO. Then ride 2 miles down the road to check out Red Rocks the most beautiful natural amphitheatre in the world.

Denver Nature and Science is a great one as well.

we did Denver Nature & Science and it was one of the best I've ever been to. Second on skipping the Denver aquarium, I read poor reviews and very expensive. Wings over Rockies was okay, but if you've been to any small air museum it's more of the same.

Was very underwhelmed by Biker Jims and Snooze.

I'd recommend Syrup over Snooze.

In SD, you can check out the USS Midway museum - it's a WWII aircraft carrier. There are also a number of museums in Balboa Park - Natural History, Museum of Man, Air and Space, Automotive, Art.

SD has the best zoo in the country, by most accounts. There's also the SD Zoo Safari Park, which is supposed to be cool, but I haven't been yet.

SD is the best beer town in the country, IMHO, and Denver's not far behind. Since you're on the bike, I'd suggest ubering to North Park, then walking the taprooms and beer bars - Modern Times, Waypoint Public, North Park Beer Co, Toronado, Mike Hess, Rip Current, Tiger! Tiger!, Blind Lady Ale House. If you want a more upscale experience, head to the flagship Stone brewery in Escondido - really beautiful beer garden, good food, and lots of beer.
