This is the fourth ride of a four day road trip near the central California coast which will take place Sept. 14th – 17th. You can sign up for all of them or whichever ones you choose to.
FOURTH RIDE – AVILA BEACH – SEE CANYON ROAD
This event has us riding on the back roads of Avila Beach as we head inland on a beautiful, quiet, shady and narrow road towards San Luis Obispo. We’ll start-off on the Bob Jones Trail. Near the midpoint of our ride we’ll have an awesome view as we look down to Morro Bay and Morro Rock.
On our route back, we’ll first stop at See Canyon Fruit Ranch for a glass of cold apple cidar before heading a bit further to the Kelsey See Canyon Vineyards to have a glass of their hard cidar wine. Once we reach Avila Beach, we’ll have lunch at Mulligan’s Bar & Grill with an ocean view before finishing the ride along the coast back to our cars.
OPTION ONE: After returning to the cars, we’ll first head over to the Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort for a one hour hot tub soak.
OPTION TWO: Drive to The Avila Valley Barn. At this delightfully rustic destination, you’ll find the freshest fruits and vegetable grown locally, as well as a chance to hang out with goats, sheep and other farm animals. Enjoy locally made ice-cream, baked good, jam, flowers and more.
In the evening,
Make sure that you have a head light and tail light, as well as having your tires or inner tubes filled with slime to help avoid flats.
