Coast & Toast: Eight Days, One Coast
A detailed proposal for an eight-day bicycle trip from Santa Cruz to Santa Monica, with daily routes, lodging stops, schedules, and support logistics.
- For
- A five-rider California coast group with driver and dog
- Worth noticing
- Mileage is based on hotel addresses and may shift by about three miles before the bicycle-legal GPX is fixed.
Field notes
The route is laid out from hotel addresses, with mileage marked approximate (±3 miles) until the bicycle-legal GPX is fixed. Each day's schedule includes a 45-minute lunch, regroup points, and three vegetarian-friendly meal choices; opening hours and reservations are flagged for reconfirmation. In Big Sur, the plan calls for satellite messaging or radios, and the dog travels in a secured harness or crate with planned relief stops away from traffic.
