Bay Area Cycling Vacation - March 2022 - Opinions Wanted

[lavi]

I'm heading down on 5/22-5/27.

I still haven't choosing lodging/camping yet. I was gonna camp. However, after long rides, a shower and a bed may be nice. I dislike spending money on hotels though...so I'm looking at classy places like Motel6.

I'm not tied to Santa Rosa. However, I figured staying there has access to more restaurants, etc. I don't mind driving a bit to ride. Looks like most routes will be west and north of SR.

Well, in that case, have you considered Malibu? 🤡

Not in the Motel 6 price range, but The Astro in Santa Rosa is very cycling friendly - they consulted with Andy Hampsten on the build-out.

I know! As I'm driving, I had thought about just jamming all the way down. It's another ~400 miles and 5+ hours though. I'm tempted to jam down, but thought I might check out another area of CA. Not an easy choice!

Looks cool. And certainly not out of reach. I'm just a cheap bastard though when it comes to sleeping. No wifey on the trip. So, the accommodations can be low-brow.

I was tentatively thinking about heading up to Sebastapol from May 22-25 for a few days of riding.
