I've only been as far south as Hearst Castle on 1. But from there up to the OR border, it really doesn't get much better. It's an awesome road-just about anytime of the year. Scenery, clean roads, tight turns, long sweepers, temps in the mid 60's to mid 70's, almost ALWAYS dry.... What am I missing? My last trip there were minimal RV's and construction.
I live in Tahoe and come October/November my riding season is over. I'm going to see if I can leave my bike in SF or in Carmel so I can visit it and ride during the winter.
