Was in SLO in Dec for my daughter's wedding. My girlfriend and I rented bikes
from a great little shop in Atascadero, rode up the coast from Morro Bay to the
Lighthouse past Hearst Castle one day, and from SLO through Carpenter Canyon to
Huasna and back via Corbett Canyon the next. She's not into the very steep
climbs, but also races (NJ Women's CAT 4 Cup Champion 2008).

Cheers............Nate
