| Location California Fall Bicycle Tour - Day 8 |
| Where: Pisom Beach to San Luis Obispo |
We left the oppressive fog of Pismo Beach and cycled right into sunshine as we climbed up the Price Canyon Road to San Luis Obispo. These two towns are only about 12 miles apart, but each has an entirely different climate.

| relaxing in the shade Arriving in San Luis we looked for a motel. Jeanette got us a coupon price of $42.90 for a room at the Los Padres Motel, probably the best buy of the trip.
The rest of the day we spent enjoying the sites of San Luis Obispo.

| San Lus Obispo de Tolosa Thirty-five years before President Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark to explore our country to the west coast, a Franciscan monk, Father Sierra, established Mission San Luis Obispo, number 5 of what would become 21 missions.

| outside dinning at Novo Restaurant Bakery We topped off our day and our trip with a very elegant evening of outside dinning of tapas at Novo Restaurant Bakery, before bording AMTRAK the next morning for home.
