Day Three: Buellton to Cambria
After our morning briefing, loading the vans, group photo in front of the hotel and our morning gas stop, we hopped on the 101 for 60 miles.
We stopped at Utopia Bakery in San Luis Obispo, where owner Kees took incredible care of us. He had signs welcoming us, a collection tin at the front counter. He admired all the bikes, got lots of hugs from all the participants, and gave us free coffee and lunch!
We stayed for quite a while at the San Luis Obispo Tribune journalist and photographer, as well as the anchorman and cameraman for the KSBY-NBC news all turned up.
We left SLO and headed up the freeway a little farther so we could cut over on one of the winding inland roads to the coast. We rode up highway 1 to Cambria, which was beautiful. We completely lucked out with the weather - warm, clear, the only fog we hit was a very short patch through Pismo beach on the way into SLO.
The Best Western Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach again took great care of us. They have our photo from last year as a permanent fixture in their lobby. They hosted a wine and cheese welcome for us, and we enjoyed the refreshments as we watched ourselves on the 5:00 news!! Then we all moved down the road to the beach where we had pizza delivered right to the picnic area for a lovely dinner on the water.
