Friars Rd, Serra Mesa

There's a ton of businesses lined up along Friars Rd. From the Sears Outlet nearby to the Fashion Valley Mall (with both a Cheesecake Factory and a PF Chang's China Bistro...yum!) and a ton of clothing stores available. It's a pretty road / drive, too, next to a large, green, golf course.

Friars Road is the primary east to west street through the north side of Mission Valley. It is long and generally flat and an easy bike ride. Riding to the west, it joins with Sea World Drive, following along the San Diego River. Riding east, it passes Riverwalk Golf Club and Fashion Valley Mall, one of San Diego’s premier shopping centers. Further east there are myriad shopping complexes interspersed with lovely apartment and condominium projects. Great restaurants abound along Friars and there are numerous opportunities for nighttime entertainment. Near the east end of Friars Road is Qualcomm Stadium. Friars Road has north/south access to Highway 163 and Highway 15.
