A gray day, on the cool side of comfortable, with rain in tomorrow’s forecast. We had a good riding shoulder all day, so the often heavy traffic alongside was more about unpleasant noise than a safety risk. Our route passed through Cayucos and then Morro Bay where we lunched at Kitty’s Kitchen. We skirted San Luis Obispo before arriving at the Kon Tiki Inn in Pismo Beach. Our room has a small patio with a view to the Pismo Beach Pier.
One small highlight was meeting a group of 6 cyclists who, with support vehicle, were riding in 7 days from San Francisco to Orange County. Yesterday they rode 105 miles through Big Sur! Alison helped them with directions for the coming days.
In Pismo Beach, we strolled through the old town and on the impressive rebuilt pier before having dinner at a new Moroccan restaurant, the Oasis.
