Here's Ted in Cambria on KVEC.

Hey, Ted.

Hey, how you doing? Listen, I just wanted to mention something.

It is a gravel cycling, road cycling event that starts and ends in Atascadero, in Atascadero's sunken garden.

It goes all over North County and out towards Cambria, but not all the way out there.

So basically, we try to hit most of the great farm roads here.

And it's people who are on bikes that look like road bikes, but they have fatter tires.

Yes.

We have a very cute, brand-new bookstore in Cambria, Salty Pages.

I've heard good things about this.

Right,

yeah.

And then we'll be at the venerable, iconic Coalesce.

Well, let's back up, talk about Cambria.

When, where?

All right, like that last day of the rally when I was just going to be the first to finish, there was one guy that was still rolling.

So when he got to Cambria, there's a lot of deer, but with those big yellow Clearwater lights, it was actually fun to watch the deer's reaction to the motorcycle, you know? And it was funny, like...

There was like a little spike buck, a little guy he's run along the road.

And then I seen a skunk back out of like a tree.

It was actually pretty funny.

But the guy that was in front of me, you know, he wouldn't see the deer until the last minute because he's got stalk headlights.

So once he got to Cambria, he got a hotel.

So he was on, we had a WhatsApp chat, chat for the whole thing.

Are there certain neighborhoods of San Luis Obispo at higher risk? because of the contours of the land?

Yeah, I mean, you have orographic enhancement, and we were just talking about during the break, the March of 1995 storm, where we had 8.5 inches at Diablo Canyon while I was working there, but Cambria there on Rocky Butte had over two feet of rainfall, and that was because of the orographic enhancement.

Now, to really get in those really small little macro climates in San Luis Obispo proper, you know, rainfall amounts do vary between the airport and Cal Poly, if you ever look at the rain gauges there.

Especially, you get quite a bit more rain there in the Santa Lucia, where Cal Poly butts up against the Cuesta, the Santa Lucia Ridge right there.

It has been, geez, for more than 10 years now.

We are able to do this every Friday thanks to the support and friendship of the great Lynn family up in Cambria, where next year they will mark 50 years on the Central Coast.

The family, not the restaurant, the family first came here in 1977.

What a difference they have made in this community.

Yes.

Yeah, so more than 30 businesses in Atascadero, Cambria, San Miguel are offering perks.
