The Proposed Rides & Maps
(Routes & Daily Intineraries may change slightly based on attendees wishes & wants)



		Day 1 - April 28 - Highway 1 Southbound This will be a fairly sedate ride with lots of stops. Leave the South Bay crossing the redwood infested coastal mountain twisites above Santa Cruz (Hwy 35 & 9), busy coast with a cruise through Monterey, Carmel, Andrew Morela SP, Pfeiffer Big Sur SP, Big Sur, The SP list goes on then on to Morro Bay, and sunset at Montana De Oro SP. Driving distance: 230 miles Driving time: 5 hours, 30 minutes (But we'll take our time with lots of stops) Cost: $19 End Of Day Lodging: Ascot Inn, Morro Bay, CA Streets & Trips File (2006)



		Day 2 - April 29 - Coastal Mountains Ridges & Valleys - Northbound We'll leave the coast line and move on up into the hills. Up some back roads to get to Paso Robles where we'll jump onto Nacimiento Road (G14) which runs along the edges of Fort Hunter Liggett Miltary Reserve along lonely sweeps and light twists. Then we'll run along the incredibly secluded Carmel Valley Rd. back into "civilzation". We'll avoid major freeways by zig-zagging up to Watsonville where we'll cross Hecker Pass (Hwy 152). We'll finish up on some backroads into Los Gatos (probably) - at least as back road as you can get in San Jose.
