Default HWY 1 ride

We are planning a ride from Glendale up toward Monterey next week. Any suggestions for things to do or stay away from?

Im not sure what route your taking but last summer there was road constrution on hwy 33 by New Cuyama. You might want to check Caltrans and plan your route.
Hey SLORider, you live in SLO? I live in Five Cities area.

You're taking the route/trip I want to take. Never been on Hwy 1 up the coast. Want to really bad. Now that I have a bike it's a must on it. There is a cool map of that section of Hwy 1 that AAA sells. Has places to stay and stop on it, points of interest, etc. It's a colorful and laminated. It's worth the 6 bucks or whatever it is. Show us pictures!

Hey 93 Fat and SLOrider.I live up over the hill in Margarita.If you come this way give me a holler,maybe hook up and ride some..Russ[sm=biker2.gif]
lvnmyfb,Hearst castle is a good one to check out.On your way through morro bay,try the Taco Temple for lunch or dinner.You'll like it.Cayucos and Cambria are nice little towns.Get gas at one of these cause very few stations north of there and you'll pay out the a**!Napenthe is a must try although $$$.BRING A CAMERA!.If you're coming to this area from east,plan to come across hwy 58 from hwy 33. It's 90 miles of good road twistys and long straights.Get gas first 'cause there'sNOTHING along the way.Russ

There are two washouts about 20 miles or so south of Monterey. Nice gravel stuff that will slow the traffic a little. Nothing major to deal with on two wheels, just go slow as the gravel is loose.

So far, the weather forecast is good for next weekend, but be prepared for the Onshore Flow. It can hand around till mid-day.

Greetings from Lompoc.
