1. Bring the bikes as checked baggage on the plane?
2. ship them ahead of time via bikeships or similar?
3. Do the hotels accept bikes if they are shipped in?
4. We have reserved a room at the Pelican Inn and Suites.
Thanks Gary
Are you flying into San Luis Obispo? From Louisiana that's at least one transfer. Some might be concerned about the bike getting lost for a few days. If you're renting a car in the Bay Area or LA and driving from there (3-4 hour drive from either direction, not too bad) and it's
still a transfer, you could ship your bike to a FedEx facility with a couple of days to spare. They'll hold it for for free for a few days. @
nlerner and @
Spaghetti Legs did that in 2018, I picked the bikes up in an RV and we drove down together in the
Magic Bus.
If you've got a direct flight and they don't charge an arm and a leg, I'd just take your bikes to the airport and check them in.
