 Hearst Castle Ride

Oct 11 thru 13, 2002

What a perfect weather trip...October on the California Coast.
Ten bikes, 12 people.
Motel in
San Luis Obispo...ride north to San Simeon and Hearst Castle...
and then south to Solvang!
Temperatures were between the high 40's and the high 70's...
with just enough fog to make it uniquely the coast.

Cyndi and Don took a temporary detour to visit with friends
before arriving at Hearst Castle. So they're missing here.
