I’ll be flying in with my bike and staying at hotels and inns throughout. For Big Sur and one more stop, I may have to camp out given the lack of options.
There are motels/lodges in Big Sur, Lucia and points south. Having said that, the camping in that area is superb.
We are having a very wet, cold winter here. We got about 5 inches of rain yesterday and today, and it snowed last week at my house (at 1700ft), just outside of Santa Cruz.
I first did that ride in February, and it was great weather, but this February it would have been a complete disaster.
