Places to fill up on water along PCH
I'm doing my first long ride up PCH tomorrow and wanted to know if anyone has any spots along PCH above Sunset where they fill up with water? I'll have three bottles with me but would feel better knowing I could refill with water along the way. Thanks

There's a gas station in Malibu, I imagine some of the beaches and beach campsites have faucets they probably wouldn't mind you using. That's all I can think of offhand, because I usually get my water up in the mountains from there. How far up PCH are you going?

Corner of Sunset and PCH there is a gas station and a market.
After Topanga Canyon, there are many restaurants and I am sure you can get some water.
Malibu canyon you have markets, coffee shops, and gas station.
If you continue north, you have in Point Dume another market and a gas station (big shopping center)
Further out in county line you have a restaurant that all the bikers and surfers hang out. You have all the water you need in there.
I hope this helps.

Before Neptunes and after Malibu Canyon - past Zuma Beach - is Trancas Market and a S'bucks I think.

Yeah, Trancas Market (Hows) is near your turn around. You could go a little further and go into Leo Carillo campground for water. There is a small store in there which is quiet and gets you away from the madness that is PCH for a while.
