Me with the colibri girls at El Colibri Hotel, Cambria
Distance (mi) = 38.2
Ave Speed (mph) = 11.8
Max Speed (mph) = 33.6
Time (h:m) = 3:20
Route:
Highway 1 S, Cayucos, Morro Bay, Hostel Obispo, San Luis Obispo
I left San Simeon State Park at 8:30 am on the way to San Luis Obispo. It will be a hot day, blue skies, no wind in the morning. I diverted off Highway 1 S for about three miles at Sea Pines Resort to follow a scenic route along the ocean. The alternate route is called Moonstone Beach Drive At the point where I was about to rejoin the highway, I came upon an interesting boutique hotel, El Colibri Hotel and Spa. See my picture with the colibri ladies. This hotel is worth a further look.
After reuniting with Highway 1 S, there is a bike route which parallels the highway for about a mile. The next town along the way was Cayucos. The only good espresso place in town is the Top Dog in the center of town on the Highway 1 business route. I spent over an hour here as they have very good WiFi. This a recommended stop.
Cayucos sits quietly between the Pacific Ocean and the rolling hillsides of open ranch land and is what some people call "the last of the California beach towns." The city has quiet charm with low pollution, no noise, and little traffic ... the perfect remedy for those who suffer from the ills and frustrations of life in the fast lane in our crowded cities.
I continued on to the nearby city of Morro Bay, a slight diversion off the route but I wanted to visit the harbor district. It was blowing 25 knots in the bay filled with moored fishing boats and yachts. Some vessels were docked in heir berth. I had a fish burger at on of the local eateries, The Great American Fish Company.
The wind was building as the afternoon progressed. The 25-knot Northwesterly was coming from the starboard quarter giving me a strong boost along my route. It was the fastest ring day averaging 12 mph and reaching top speeds of 33 mph on downhills. There was heavy traffic but the shoulder was wide.
I arrived at Hostel Obispo at 3:00 pm. Vaughn, also staying there, gave me the scoop on a nearby mini-mart, a coffeehouse, a Vietnamese restaurant , and a Thai restaurant.
