CALIFORNIA 
(Visitors, events, skiing, lodging guides)

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) publishes bicycle
touring guides to several of their maintenance districts. They seem to try and
keep this a secret, and don't say anything about it on the web, but if you send
e-mail to the headquarters office contacts at:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tpp/offices/bike/sites.html
and ask for them, they'll snail mail you the maps free of charge.
The maps cover only state highways, and include information about climbs, food
and lodging availablity, and the likes. The information about which towns have bike shops is completely unreliable;
but there is hope, see: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tpp/offices/bike/sites_files/Bike_Bklt_3-03_print.pdf
