It is a 240 mile ride R/T from Santa Maria and is an all day ride for experienced riders only. It will be a bag lunch ride\, so bring your own lunch. \nAfter a short briefing at SMHD\, we will head north on US 101 and take exit 228 for McChevron at 101 and CA-46 W (55 mi). We will gas up\, use the facilities and have a briefing for the rest of the riders that meet us there. Heading north on US-101\, we will exit in Paso Robles we will take the 46E exit and turn left onto 46-W at the traffic light and go under the freeway.  It (24th St) becomes Nacimiento Lake Drive.  After 10 miles\, we turn right at Chimney Rock (G-14) and continue to Interlake Road (G-14) and turn left (14 mi). We will travel in pretty country on G-14 with elevation changes to Jolon Road in Lockwood and turn left. This will take us into Ft. Hunter-Liggett (28 mi). Mission San Antonio de Padua is on the left. This part of the ride is 90 minutes from McChevron. We will have lunch at the picnic tables at the Mission. There are beverages for sale in the gift shop but no food. There is a little museum and costs $10 but I haven’t done it.  There are also restroom facilities available. \nAfter lunch\, we head down Nacimiento-Fergusson Road. This is an incredibly twisty and steep downhill road with breathtaking views (26 mi). We are going to be in 2nd gear mostly the whole way\, so no need for speed. At the bottom of the mountain\, we take a left onto CA-1 S. We will pull into Ragged Point (20 mi) to use the facilities and say our goodbyes. This leg is 90 min. from the Mission. This is the termination point of the ride. It is another 90 min. back to Santa Maria (85.5 mi)\, so people will need to stop for gas in Cambria or Morro Bay. \nCall me if you have any questions. Let’s do this! (805) 574-5744 \nLaurie ‘Deerslayer’ Reifsnyder[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
