No route sheet or stamp book on Nova. Stamp book on Vintage ride on Sunday not sure about route sheet since I did the short route on Sunday.

1) was there a food and water stop at the Cayucos Pier as in previous Cambria based events? If not, that’s a shame, was well stocked by the Sea Shanty and Cayucos Chamber of commerce.
No stop at Cayucos pier.

2) was there a water stop at Santa Rita Summit?
First rest/water stop at top of Santa Rita climb, 28 miles in, banana, cut ut apples and water. No rest room. Good thing the weather was cool otherwise water would have been an issue that late into the ride.

3) was there a food, water, restrooms and mechanical stop at Halter Ranch?
No Halter Ranch. I think they put a food truck near by as the lunch stop for the medium ride. Long riders got to visit Olea farm and French fries, lunch boxes at the Templeton.

4) how was the water stop at Cypress Mountain summit?
Water stop at Cypress was manned by Wally's Bicycle Works. Nice welcome by Wally and another volunteer with cow bell.

5) for the short route riders, where was the turn around, and how was the Lighthouse explained? Did you have a stop at all?
Turn around point was supposed to be the light house. The instructions were not clear and everyone overshot the light house by 1 mile and was told to turn around. The rest stop/food stop for the short route is the overflow parking lot of the Elephant Seal viewing area.
