That is a great trip. I love the hybrid camp/restaurant food portion. I need to start doing stuff like that!!! On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 3:39 PM, Eric Norris wrote: > Nice photos.

Re: [RBW] Ride report: Hwy1 to San Luis Obispo
Nice photos. I've made that trip several times, and it certainly is a beautiful ride. In fact, except for the camping part, it sounds like a great trip! --Eric "I like to sleep in a bed" Norris Sent from my iPad On Jun 23, 2010, at 3:04 PM, Bill Rhea wrote: > Thought I'd share some photos from my recent solo getaway down the CA > coast: > > http://picasaweb.google.com/Wheelsmith91/2010SLOTrip# > > I managed to get a few days freedom from the day job and family > responsibilities to ride out my driveway, ending up in SLO.

[RBW] Ride report: Hwy1 to San Luis Obispo
Thought I'd share some photos from my recent solo getaway down the CA coast: http://picasaweb.google.com/Wheelsmith91/2010SLOTrip# I managed to get a few days freedom from the day job and family responsibilities to ride out my driveway, ending up in SLO. Nothing like getting some personal time like this to remind a guy how important it is to do so I camped in the hiker/biker campsites in Sunset Beach, Pfeiffer Big Sur, and San Simeon. Can't beat $5/night and .75c for a hot shower :-) Took my Trangia alcohol stove and a teapot for coffee and oatmeal in the morning, but otherwise grabbed restaurant food on the way. The weather was pretty cold and windy from Sunset Beach to well past Monterey, but got nicer as I headed south. Luckily, I came across a Pendleton outlet store in Pacific Grove and got a wool shirt at 1/2 price, which I definitely ended up using every night The AHH worked great - no mechanicals or flats. The load on the Platrack helped balance the weight out a between front and back. I retured home on Amtrak out of SLO. The Amtrak bike boxes are huge - you don't need to remove wheels or fenders. After lowering the seat and stem, twisting the bars, removing the pedals and the Platrack, it was ready to go. 5$ handling charge for the bike, $15 for the box (but they'll hook you up for free if they have a used box available).
