"Two-Wheel Travel" Personal Page by marthacook

We've been making the trip from Long Beach to Monterey, California, since the mid-90s, sometimes on the major highways when we're on a tight schedule, sometimes on the back roads to stretch the 300+ mile trip into 500 miles or more.

Once we're there, the guys go off to Laguna Seca Raceway. I, however, don't care about the races, so i spend my time exploring on two wheels. Go north, and there's Santa Cruz, Pescadero (with Duarte's artichoke soup!) and the sea lions of Anno Nuevo State Beach. Go south, and there's Big Sur... which for me, translates into the Ventana Inn and an afternoon of spa treatments and onsen bathing.
