I am heading down for the weekend and would love to do some low-key riding. I am thinking about 30-35 miles (will be on the tandem) with no more than moderate climbing. Great scenery and light traffic are musts, access to a winery or two along the way would be a bonus.

Can anyone help provide some recommendations?

Thanks!

It's great riding down in SLO. Here's a link to the club site, with a rides page:

Poke around the ride pages and you'll find some of interest. When I was down a couple of years ago, I went out Orcutt Road towards Pismo and looped around, and hit Avila Beach. Next time I want to head towards Morro Bay, maybe head up 1 towards San Simeon.
