Bike:
Ride: 01/24/90 - Let’s ride from Kman at 8am and head to the Coast by going out to Curbaril, to 41, to Templeton Road, to…left on Templeton Road which then becomes Vineyard and continue straight until left on 46 and ride to York Mt (ride the climb or stay on 46), continue on 46 to left on Old Creek and ride down to Cayucos where we will stop for a break at the coffee shop (O’Neal’s) then ride north to Cambria for a second stop and then backtrack for the climb up 46 and home. The ride can be shortened by riding to the top of 46 and back to the shop or riding to the top of the downhill on Old Creek.
•Special note: For the benefit of the riders planning on riding the Coast Ride in four weeks, I am planning on my 104 mile route through Paso and Shandon the following Saturday (Jan. 31). In the hopes of connecting with the benefit ride planned for High Road charities I was thinking of planning a ride for Feb. 7 that goes down 46, then south to Cayucos and then to Morro Bay, Turri Road, into San Luis and up the grade… If someone has more information about the timing and route of the High Road ride please let me know.
•Last Saturday’s Ride: It was a beautiful day for the ten riders who rode with Team Kman. Len’s “desire for accuracy” brought to our attention that the section of road between Templeton Road intersection with El Pomar and the Main Street light is actually Templeton Road (not El Pomar) and at the light the road name changes to Vineyard Rd. Future ride directions will appropriately reflect these road designations. Congenial riding continued all the way to Nacimiento Lake Road where Mike Z., Galen and his friend Ben headed straight into Paso while the rest of us continued on San Marcos. Kurt flatted and Terry remained with him while the group continued to the Coffee shop in San Miguel. After waiting for some time not only did Kurt and Terry arrive but they were accompanied by the Zoo group riders. It was quite a gathering! The ride continued out Cross Canyon and at Pleasant Road Len, Mark G. and Steve R. turned to head home while Terry, Kurt, Louise and Doug continued to ride out the Hog Canyon loop. We returned on Estrella, braved the short climb up 46 and the left hand turn to Union as the weather turned positively Summer-esque. The Wine-Tasting room at Tobin James was as crowded as a San Luis bar on a Saturday night and we rode with caution on the road leaving the winery, concerned with the sobriety of any drivers coming up behind us. We finished the 90+ mile ride safely. Doug was test riding a new Giant TCR and either the Giant TCR gave Doug wings or Doug gave the Giant TCR wings…either way he is flying!!
