Day 14: San Simeon Village - San Luis Obispo

The forcast was for rain today. I poked my head out at 6:20 and no rain, only gray. After coffee, packing up and taking care of calls we set out. Shortly after setting out it began to spit rain. The first 20 miles to Cayucos included a few hills but for the most part it was a very nice ride. We even had a scenic bypass that was nice. In Cayucos we stopped to warm up with some coffee. After taking care of a few more calls we set out for Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo.

The through Morro Bay led us into the State Park, very nice. After exiting the Park we headed into hilly farm country. Once we made it to Las Osos Rd. the terrain leveled out a bit but the traffic picked up. Foothills Blvd. led us into town. There we got some lunch and found a Starbucks. Since we had knocked out 40 miles by lunch we had time to catch up on e-mail and blogging.

As we were doing this the heavens opened up and the promised steady rain was now here. We checked the hour by hour for Oceano and it was going to rain till 6am. After that, sunshine the rest of the week. With that info in hand we decided to find a dry place for the night and add today's final 15 on to tomorrow's ride to Refugio State Beach.

As always, thanks for taking the time to pray for and encourage us!
