Bike hut?
If you like to cruise the peninsula coast, you probably have a fondness in your heart for the Bike Hut on Tunitas Creek Rd. Anybody know if it's "open for business?" I don't know why I'm using quotes there, I suppose I am literally asking if it is open for business.
It's a very handy watering hole in the middle of nowhere, so it might be the deciding factor on whether or not I have to take my camelbak on longer rides out thataway. Or, any other good tips for water in that vicinity? I've never stopped at the general store in San Gregorio; I don't think they have a spigot outside or anything but I'm not sure. And I'm looking to lengthen my rides by swinging south to Pescadero before coming back north up Stage Rd-- any good places to fill up down there?

Ah, they have a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheBikeHut
They have the hut closed up but water available in a picnic table. Hats off to the people who keep this going, seriously!

Apologies for continuing a one man conversation with myself here, but this update could be relevant information to someone: I wouldn't recommend relying on the bike hut right now. There were water containers out on Saturday afternoon, but they were empty. Fortunately I was prepared for that possibility, and had enough water from home to get back up and over to Woodside. I wouldn't want someone to see my link to that fb page and assume they will be able to fill up there. It's hot out there, folks, stay wet!

I'm sure that's true-- that place rocks and I'm very grateful for what they do for the cycling community! Definitely not trying to knock them in any way because the jugs happened to be empty the other day, just wanted to let people know they should be prepared for that possibility. That California sun is shining HARD right now.

Yeah, I saw they were up and running when I rode through (masks required, only letting a restricted number of people in at a time.) Seems like a good spot to catch a break and hydrate/fuel up.
