vacation planning
While I'd love to be completely spontaneous, having a set time with a limit to ride a given distance requires a bit of planning. So, here are my thoughts. I hope all my lovely friends who live and/or travel the coast will share their feedback.
Limiters: Monday through Friday next week. Must be in SLO by Friday.
Wants: Coastal Route -- I've ridden south three times inland and this time I really want to ride the coast.
Budget: Not a concern.
Bike & gear: Rivendell Atlantis (loaded, baby!) -- will carry clothing, camping equipment, and minimal cooking gear if needed.
Desires: I'd prefer to hostel or camp because it's a great way to meet fellow travellers.
Day 1 (Mon) -- San Mateo to Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel (Pescadero) -- 40-50 miles
Day 2 (Tue) -- Pescadero to Monterey Hostel -- 70 miles
Day 3 (Wed) -- Monterey to Limekiln State Park (Big Sur) -- 50 miles
Day 4 (Thu) -- Big Sur to San Simeon State Park (Cambria) -- 55 miles
Day 5 (Fri) -- Cambria to Petit Soleil B& B San Luis Obispo -- 40 miles
Day 6 -- ride hilly century with friends (will appreciate the short day on Friday)
Day 7 -- drive back to San Mateo

are you renting a car down in slo?
sounds like lotsa fun!
My friends are meeting me in SLO. I think they're actually driving the velogirlsmobile down with my road bike (so I don't have to do a century on my rivendell).
how cool, you picked a very good time of the year! the best
