Pacific Coast Highway 101

[Bikerboy51]

Hey all,

My son and I are getting ready to head West from the Seattle area to the coastline and ride highway 101 down to SanFrancisco, I've heard that this stretch is truely breath-taking. Anyone ever ridden this?...My question is, if we're planning on riding 300+ miles per day and starting say by 9am, are we gonna make that before dark?...I would think so....your thoughts?

Thanks in advance

101 or 1? I've done 1 north from San Francisco and it is truly spectacular. 300 miles/day should be most enjoyable. Maybe Steve or one of the west-coast guys will chime in with more...

Hey KB,

Well actually, it'll be Highway 101 from the Seattle area to around Leggett, Ca I beleive, then its Highway 1 South from there to the Panoramic Highway through Muir Woods. I'm most concerned that if we're say 350+ away from San Rafael, and we start by 9am, will we make it through the woods before dark, or will we have to divert and stay on 1 into San Rafael...

Should be no problem, unless you stop a lot...and take a good digital camera that you can shoot on the fly...I have a cat leash from Walmart on mine to keep from dropping it...

No worries....I'll have a camera that I use on the fly.....also, we'll be camping a couple of nights on the way down...one night on Devil's Lake in Oregon...the next night at Prairie Creek Redwood Park in Ca.....

If you have time you might extend your trip a bit more south to San Clemente or even San Luis Obisbo there's a lot of beauty on that road!
