I've been toying with the following conservative estimates: 1 hour from Flying Flags Campground to the Refugio fire road. 3 hours to get to 101 at the coast. 2 hours riding along 101 to the train station.
That makes 6 hours. We leave at 7 AM to get to the train by 1 PM so the guys still have a cushion (in addition to hopefully conservative estimates above). -Jim W. p.s. Thanks again Doug and Mike!
