I think y'all are right. I'm only taking one mag with me, first solo trip so I'm probably overthinking a lot of things.
Really looking forward to this trip, it's been a long 7 months working from home & I need a break. Got a ride along CA 1 from San Luis Obispo to Big Sur planned while I'm there as well

I don't look for trouble but I like to be prepared should it find me
I have checked and other than California I'm good to ride & carry just as I am here in Texas, once I get to the state line I'll follow the ridiculousness that is California gun laws.

One last thing, this time of year anything over 4000' in elevation is going to get cold so plan accordingly, below freezing is possible in a few spots on the routes.

That's a nice ride, done it many times. Used to pop down to San Lois to play with the college girls on long weekends, Nice big tavern downtown called Harry's, good stop for a cold one and a burger if it's still there.

I grew up in the central valley, SLO was always good for skirt chasing. I don't have winter gear (yet) but I do have Carhartt overalls with the black lining as well as a matching coat. Here's to hoping I don't need them. Have you ever ridden Nacimiento-Ferguson Road between Jolon & HWY 1? I've been that way a bunch but never on a bike

that's extremely close, looks like I've got some map editing to do. Thank you for the tip
