Thinking of doing a stretch of the PCBR (S->N), but during the wintertime.

Would SLO to SAN be doable over a 2 week stretch in late December/Xmas? I will have a sleeping setup good down to 20F (comfort rated).

Picked these locations as it's where the Pacific Surfliner Train starts & ends, which I plan to use to begin journey.

Out of all the navigation options, what is the best/most accurate?

  • ACA Bicycle Route app
  • ACA gpx data (using phone)
  • GMaps? Something else?

I plan to have ~3/4L water capacity, would this be enough? I plan to mostly stay at hike/bike campsites, is there an updated list of the ones that are operational/open during this season.

If this section of the PCBR is not recommended during this time, any other good US routes that may be done during this time of year?
