Have a look at these routes: http://mountainbikeslocounty.com/
One of the great features of this area is a lot of back roads that are lightly traveled and go thru scenic areas. While there's plenty of interesting un-paved stuff to choose from, even the paved bits getting there are pretty nice. The suggestion of Old Stagecoach up to Towers is excellent. This is the ridgeline between Oso Valley and the valley where Paso & Atascadero are. One possible return is down Poly Canyon into the university. I continued on the ridgeline to Hwy 41 & on to Morro Bay. This requires crossing a not-for-the-faint-of-heart rock slide (David, you ARE doing this!). Total loop is roughly 40 odd miles, give or take. I've done See Cyn from both sides & suggest coming from the Avila Beach end. The climb is more shaded & more interesting, and you do the dirt on the way up. Toward the end it ramps up steeply just before the summit, so you sort of "pop out" on top and have this amazing view of Morro Rock to one side and the Oso Valley to the other. You then get to enjoy a screaming downhill on pavement with decent sitelines, etc. Mitch's comments have encountered some interweb interference, so if they don't pop up shortly I'll just copy & paste them, with appropriate attribution of course. You can't beat local knowledge. dougP On Monday, June 10, 2013 8:06:18 PM UTC-7, Mike Schiller wrote: > > Mitch from SLO ( Atlantis owner) emailed me some info about El Chorro > County park, which is on the road between SLO and Morro Bay.
