I'm planning on riding from north of San Francisco (Novato) to San Diego right before Thanksgiving. I'll try to do it in 4 days, stopping in Monterey, Guadalupe and Santa Monica. That's about 160 miles each of the first 3 days and 120 on the last day.
I've done double centuries and centuries before but never so many miles in one trip so I am a little concerned about my fitness.
I could use advice from any one who has done this route. In, particular, how did you deal with the weather, washed out roads, finding food and water, running out of daylight, etc.
I'll be travelling light (credit card touring, I think they call it).
If you live along this way and know some "can't miss" bakeries, please let me know! Those tarbars are not going to taste very good after a while.
