Off we go...and with only one averted catastrophe! Driving down 101 near San Miguel, I started to dose (while driving- always a good thing) and then happened to wake up and look out the back window to see my bike break free! Yelling, "The bike is loose" to my sleeping husband, I swerved over to the left side of the highway to pull off. Luckily, no one was killed by a flying bike and we were back on track.
Listening to Grady's gift CD of "Traveling Music" (Thanks Grady- we laughed at the first song)and drove outside to San Luis Obispo to the Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort which was recommended by the Means. Totally cool, laid back place. After an hour and a half bike ride to Avila Beach (a hidden gem), we reserved an hour in the hot tubs. They have these funky old hot mineral spring fed tubs located on the side of a mountain and you can reserve them for an hour- privately.
Today, we hit a fantastic little winery called Tolosa which makes a No-Oak Chardonnay that we drank last night at the bar. Great little place in San Luis Obispo. We avoided the dreaded "Jean and white sneaker" crowd at Pismo and hit Cayucas. Damn, what a treat to have the weather above the normal HMB 59 degrees!
