I'll be using Adventure Cycling maps. The whole distance from San Francisco to Santa Barbara is 383.5 miles. My first choice is Monterrey to San Luis Obispo at about 150 miles, but I'm open to other starting/finishing points if I find companion(s).
I'm an experienced rider with Red Cross First Aid training and will be doing credit card touring.
Another idea I'm considering is to fly into San Luis Obispo and doing different day rides.
this is what i'd be considering. you can tap segments of both the coastal and inland routes from monterey south to approx 25 miles north of santa barbara, that's a lot of ground and variety.
superunderrated part of california. great riding with less traffic. miles of smiles.
