San Luis Obispo Spring Bike Rides
April 2023
As someone who usually rides my bike in the Los Angeles Southbay area, views of the ocean are common but the crowded roads and all the bad drivers made it feel like a gauntlet at times. I was always lucky to make quick trips up to Cayucos and bring my bike because it meant that I could get on less crowded roads and mixed gravel routes to explore more space.
On this trip I did a couple rides. The first was starting at Madonna Mountain and heading up Perfumo Canyon and then down into Avila Beach. Once I reach the end of the pier, I turned around and heading to downtown SLO with a welcomed tailwind.
The second day I rode from Cayucos down highway 1, through Morro Bay down to Los Osos and all the way to the end of the road in Montan De Oro state park. Turned around and went all the way back. It was a beautiful day and a perfect ride. Then for fun, we drove inland to scope out the super bloom that had just taken place. Although we missed the prime blooming of flowers by a couple weeks it was still great to see nature and wildflowers out in what felt like the middle of nowhere.
