Hey Jesse, I've visited Samuel P many times via bike. Pre 2020, hiker biker site at Samuel P was no reservation required. Even when the hiker/biker was "full" there was always enough room to squeeze in. The best part of sharing the site with others is hearing their stories. Some were overnighters like me, others were from Europe and hiking up the California coast. You might want to check on the policies of the state park as many things have changed since 2020.
Riding to go camping was a revelation for me. I could ride to a destination, sleep, then ride back which doubled the distance between points I could ride in a day. It sounds silly writing it out but was totally mind blowing at the time as all my rides prior were planned around getting back to where I started. Here's a write up I did back in 2017 about riding up to Samuel P on a Quickbeam. https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/8AYdSsNsh7E/m/h5unB6v_AwAJ <https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/8AYdSsNsh7E/m/h5unB6v_AwAJ> Please give us an update after your trip. always enjoy reading others ride reports :) Christian Phoenix, AZ On Monday, January 22, 2024 at 2:40:02 PM UTC-7 jesse.b...@gmail.com wrote: > Thanks!
