Many thanks to you all. Very helpful replies. Based on your comments the accommodation options look doable. Have to admit that in light of your comments on the wind (not my friend) I am rethinking my direction. Perhaps east to west might be the go. Regards Alan

Hi, did the entire coast Van to SD last August/September and had no problems with traffic. Sure, it gets a little dodgy in some of the larger towns, and SFO and LA, but common sense, a good mirror, at least two flashing tail lights and acceptance that you really don’t have any authority on the road then you shouldn’t have any problems.

I’m planning a solo unsupported ride on the Southern Tier west to east next autumn. I generally ride around 80 miles per day (recently did the PCH). I am not camping and plan to hotel my way across. Given the occasional sparse and long legs are there sufficient hotels along the desert sections  to avoid camping?
