rides in the area?I was last there 23 years ago, so the information I have is
old, old, old. Anyway, in those days there was mostly the
coast road (Hwy 1) and not much going into the mountains. I
drove up Nacimiento Road from (IIRC)just south of Lucia into
the Hunter-Liggett Military Reserve and that seemed like it
would be a nice ride. From Lucia there's a road into the
Limekiln State Park, also.From Posts, just south of Big Sur "proper," is the Coast
Ridge Road inland and Mule Canyon towards the sea, but I
never got to check those out so I don't know how
rideable they are.Between Bug Sur and Posts is the Pfeiffer State Park, which
looks to have a road.Carmel probably offers some nice rides, too. Is Nepenthe
still in business? -

I'm doing the same in a few weeks and saw this link. It's got some decent tips.
