Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / Pacific Coast Section 4 Hwy 1 rockslides south of Big Sur 1/2023
« on: January 07, 2023, 01:53:10 am »
I don't know if anyone is riding in this weather, but just in case, storms in the past week have caused Highway 1 to close in various places. Might be open in a few days, or a few months.
When this happened 5 or so years ago, I took Hwy 25 and other backroads, then jumped on Hwy 101 at San Miguel. 101 is legal for cyclists in some sections, but I wouldn't recommend it going into San Luis Obispo. The Cuesta Grade is too fast (80+ mph cars), and the shoulder is often clogged with debris. A better option might be to take the train/bus from Salinas to San Luis Obispo. Hopefully Adventure Cycling will come out with an official detour, soon.
