SF:SD Morro Bay to Santa Maria

Since we’re going somewhat inland today, there should be less fog. At least that was the theory. Or not.  We had both fog and minor precipitation.  We had to stop often to clean our eye glasses.  The road was good but we couldn’t see the scenery.

By mile 10 the precipitation stopped.  By mile 15, sun,  Well no – fog again by mile 20. And so it was all day.  The sun was out much of the afternoon but the scenery was dull. No majestic vistas, just farms. The ride was 54 miles with about 2,000 feet of climbing.

We’re spending the night in the historic Santa Maria Inn.2012-09-14 15.14.09

Tomorrow’s ride is to Solvang, where the temperature is forecast to be 95 degreed. Ouch.
