Defining the term “city to sea,” the Bob Jones Bike Trail follows the Pacific Coast Railroad all along the San Luis Obispo Creek until it reaches Avila Beach.

The trail begins at a parking lot off the US 101 and ends at the promenade in downtown Avila Beach, offering up the perfect ending to your ride with a relaxing view of the Pacific Ocean. Not to mention, bikers will be shrouded with scenery throughout their ride, as the Bob Jones Trail will take them through lush greenery, gardens, and bubbling brooks.

Here are directions to find the beginning and end of the trail to ensure bikers the full Bob Jones experience:
