Hi folks.
Was planning to do a similar trip (San Fran to SLO) the last week of July. Camping most of the way with stops at Costanoa (Ano Nuevo SP), Monterey, Pfeiffer SP (Big Sur), San Simeon SP (Cambria), and San Luis Obispo. Assume tourists will be out in droves but hope to avoid some of the traffic since we will only be riding Monday-Friday. Any further recommendations than what has already been mentioned (Sorry to hijack the discussion). This will be my girlfriends first tour so want to get plans as good as I can!
