Five of us just returned from an epic 7 day (including travel), 2100 mile tour around Northern California, starting and ending in San Fran. We flew out, and rented bikes for this daisy-chain trip.
The route, weather, and local people far exceeded our expectations!
Highlights included:
San Fran "steepest streets" tour
PCH to mountains crisscrossing (50 to 90F in 20miles)
Avenue of Giants
Lassen Volcanic Nat Park
East Lake Tahoe "flyby"
Bodie Ghost town
Yosemite drive through
All 3 highest passes in California (Monitor, Sonora, Tioga)
And even took a Waymo to our staging hotel!
Below are some excursion phone pics/vids, forthcoming will be a video sharing what the riding was like.
