What's your hurry? 75-100 miles a day is far too much for an experienced tourer (at least one that want to see something) let alone a beginner. And don't under estimate the PCH. It can be a difficult road with lots of climbs.
Believe me, you are going to find that you will want to stop every 100 yards.
IMHO there is zero reason to pass San Luis Opisbo other than to get from one place to the other. All the fun pretty much ends in SLO.
Food not to miss:
Turkey sandwich at Arguello Supermarket in SFO near the Golden Gate Park.
Breakfast at the Halfmoon Bay airport.
Burrito lunch at La Haut Enchilada in Moss Landing.
