That is my plan as long as I won't be out of town for work.  Want to ride up from San Bernardino.  ROAD TRIP.  Would love to join up with someone else who might be heading up.  Otherwise I'll fly solo.  Hope it works out...work schedule's very unpredictable.

Is it cool if I tag along with you Bacon Junkie?

[Embyr]

Would y'all be cool having someone else tag along? (unless this is more of an in-group thing)...  I'd only have a day to go and probably ride back on my own, but I'd really love to meet some of you...

Embyr, you should talk them into running the 33 and meeting Sac in Santa Maria and then go home after that.

Don't matter to me. You wanna take the 101 all the way up or you wanna do Hwy 1 for a while. The PCH will be slow and tiring, but its fun as hell. As far as slabs go the 101 ain't bad.

One option would be to take the 154 out of Santa Barbara and then pick up the 101 (always lots of cops on 154, I drive it every day)

Another option would be to take the 101 out of Santa Barbara (nice cruise next to the ocean) and cut over on the PCH towards Lompoc and pick the 101 back up in Arroyo Grande.

OR we could cruise the 101 all the way up to San Luis Obispo and catch the PCH there. We would pretty much be locked in to the PCH at that point but it take us through Big Sur which is beautiful. Your appetite for passing RVs around corners has to be high though. Otherwise it will take all make the beast with two backsing day.

OR we could take the 101 up to Salinas and cut over to the 1 there.

OR we could do some combination thereof.

OR we could just start riding and figure out the route as we go.

OR we could just say make the beast with two backs it and stay in Santa Barbara and get drunk.

Embyr, ride up to SB anytime. The wife and I are always up for entertaining wayward bikers.

Cheers.

I might be up for that, if you don't mind some company.  Pretty sure I have friday off work.  Not sure if I can get a night or two off from the family for the whole DIMBY trip.  Much more difficult to get approval for that.

If you guys end up on the 101 and come through SLO you have to stop and say hi. There's decent cheap food to be had. Gas ain't so cheap though but it seems to only get more expensive as you head north.
