Cycling from San Simeon to Morro Bay - Bike Touring Blog
A short update on this day of the bike tour from Alaska to Argentina. Today, I cycled from San Simeon to Morro Bay.
Cycling to Morro Bay
(Blog post written October 25 2009 - Cycling from Alaska to Argentina)
Continuing my bike tour through California, I'd spent the previous night in San Simeon.
A bit of a late getaway, which meant cycling when the day was hotter - and boy was it hot! I had initially decided on a 50 mile day, but decided that because of the late start, I'd do a shorter one and stop at Morro Bay instead.
It's got a nice hiker/biker site right by the bay and well away from any traffic. I visited the natural history museum, and then spent most of the afternoon putting some thought into the Mexico section of my trip, which will begin in about 7 days.
About 40 miles tomorrow and I'll stay the night at a Warmshowers host. Hopefully, the town will have a decent bike shop so that I can stock up on spares for the rest of my trip.
