55 miles, 1200' of elevation gain, temp range of 58 to 82 degrees under mostly sunny skies
We left San Simeon expecting a foggy overcast day but were pleasantly surprised to having clearing skies and a pleasantly warm day. We rode along the beach on a relatively flat road with a good shoulder. We left SR 1 at Morro Bay and took local roads eventually going into Morrow Bay State Park riding on empty roads along the Pacific Ocean and eventually into where Blue Herons nest. We were treated to a few of these graceful birds but alas this is not the breeding season so we only had a few.
Eventually the ride took us past the well known wine areas of Paso Robbles and Solvang and the vineyards were everywhere. We stopped in San Luis Obispo for a delightful brunch and basically just coasted into Arroyo Grande (big hole) as the wind was pushing us all the way to the hotel
