Cruising to Cambria on Santa Rosa Creek Road, a delightful, mostly paved, one laner. On a dirt section I rounded a blind corner and found myself heading into the grille of a BIG TRUCK moving fast! :wtf I was able to clear it, but the dust storm trailing the truck was blinding. After a few seconds I got my vision back and my heartrate down. Then I looked around for my riding buddies, and there were NONE! Oh yeah, it’s a solo trip…
For too long, I eyed King City in the Salinas Valley as a basecamp for local excursions. Nearby Paso Robles is nearly ideal, but the lodging and restaurant prices are sky high. Fortunately, the stars aligned with an empty calendar, unusually good November weather, mostly smoke-free skies, and a week of election purgatory.
I planned a short solo COVID-aware moto touring trip: disinfect hotel touchpoints, minimize human physical contact (bring some groceries from home, make one shopping trip), keep tuned into election results, and avoid gatherings. :thumbup
Funny that Thady Wacker’s thread Monterey Madness 2020 was in some of the same places a week before me.
