Jacks Bar and Grill will be our destination / termination point for the ride.

We will line up on the north side of SMHD for our pre-ride briefing. After the briefing we will turn right out of the parking lot onto Preisker and go a short distance to N Broadway. I will wait at the light until it is green so we can all get onto N Broadway and we will turn right and head to the Highway 101 northbound entrance ramp and travel 13.1 miles to Exit 187 / Highway 227 / Grand Avenue where we will exit to the traffic signal.

We will turn right and travel east on W. Branch to the 3-way stop and turn right onto Huasna Road which turns into Lopez Drive as we head east.  We will take Lopez Drive to Orcutt Road and turn left onto Orcutt Road. (5.1 miles) As we travel through wine country, we will hit a lot of elevation changes and twisties along the route.

Orcutt Road will turn into Tank Farm Road, and we will travel to S. Higuera and turn right at the traffic signal. (9.0 miles)  We will travel north 1.5 miles on S Higuera and at the traffic light at Madonna Road we will turn left and then right onto Highway 101 north on ramp. We will take Highway 101 north up Cuesta Grade to the Highway 58 exit (17.1 miles) and travel through Santa Margarita and make a pit stop at the park.  When Richard and I did the pre-ride we found out that the bathrooms are down and they have port-a-potties so if you don’t like port-a-potties then please plan on using the dealership before we leave.  It is about 35 minutes from the Park to our destination.  After a short break we will continue on Highway 58 to Highway 229 (15.5 miles). We will experience a lot of twisties on this stretch of road, and we’ll stay to the right of the lane due to several narrow areas of the road, and this will take up to Creston and to Highway 41.

We will then turn left on Highway 41 and travel west to Cripple Creek Road and turn right (2.8 miles). It is a very short distance to our next turn, and we will make a left turn onto El Pomar Drive. As we are near Templeton this road turns into Templeton Road.  At the traffic light we will turn right onto S Main Street (9.8 miles) and ride into Templeton and travel a short distance to our destination, Jacks Bar and Grill that will be on the right. We will find parking and this will be our destination / termination point for the ride. (Total mileage: 69.0 miles / time approximately 1 hr. 38 min)
