Hugh & Manny have captured the essence of this trip nicely in photos & words. Hugh's photo of Manny standing on a pole taking a picture is The Classic Manny. Manny's group shot is about the only time we were all stationary. This is one high energy bunch. After a leisurely couple of days getting there on my own, it was an interesting change to ramp up to keeping up with the group. Frequent photo ops kept us together (more or less).
My heartfelt thanks to the cooks, Hugh & Manny. Calamari starters with pasta & sausage main course, absolutely delightful. And bacon wrapped sausage for breakfast! While I'm not high on the paleo concept, this was truly fuel for the road. For the navigationally curious, El Chorro is on SR 1 Cabrillo Hwy, opposite Cuesta College. Sunday's ride took SR 1 east into SLO, right on Higuera thru downtown (one of the neatest downtowns anywhere). Higuera exists SLO to become Ontario Rd, down to San Luis Bay Dr. Right on San Luis Bay Dr to See Canyon, another right up See Canyon, a particularly pretty, quiet, isolated road. See Canyon eventually becomes Prefumo Canyon Rd & descends to Los Osos Valley Rd. We hung a right (tailwind direction) to Madonna Rd, left back into SLO for lunch, and return via SR 1. Total was around 35ish miles; no clue on elevation but plenty of climbing. One of the signs of a successful tour is that toward the end you start planning "the next one". The hinted-at-above West Coast Rivendell Gathering, Cook-out & Camping Expedition will happen if enough people get stoked about it. The recent photos of pushing the bikes thru the snow outside Portland got us to thinking......(always dangerous!). Pacific Northwesters, expect company sometime! dougP On Tuesday, July 30, 2013 2:59:14 PM UTC-7, hsmitham wrote: > > I have been remiss, Evan has a superb creamy blue AHH , albatross bars > with plush padding, Platrack & Slickersack mounted out front; Doug has the > second generation Atlantis with beausage showing all the miles he has > travelled, both Evan & Doug are great riding partners.who I hope to ride > with again & again...and now all of our bikes have travelling/Mojo knomes > ala Manny.
