help with la to sf route

[MAXdB]

Hey everyone, I'm heading back up to sf tomorrow, monday, and wanted to take a longer more enjoyable route than just the 5 or 101.. can I just take the 1 all the way up? or is there a better route than that? I don't mind the length as long a it can be done in one day (<12 hours) and the biggest thing for me is having enough gas stops on the way (within 80-90 miles). Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hwy 1 will be brilliant, especially between Santa Barbara and San Francisco. That said, I can't vouch for gas distances. You should check Google Maps for fueling stops along the way.

BTW - What days will you be in town? We could always organize an impromptu bike night.

And here's a route that'll have you in the twisties for a good long way, with a run up Highway 9...probably one of the funnest roads around here:

thanks desmo i'll definitely be checking out google maps on the way due to the monster's limited tank range. I'll be up the in the area permanently so i'm looking forward to meeting everyone.. i was hoping to attend one of Doc wong's classes actually.

i'll try to post up a few pics if i get some good shots on the way up!

Yes, you can take Hwy 1 pretty much all the way (there's a bit of weirdness near Santa Barbara, but there are some nice alt. routes by the lake, and through Santa Ynez.)

If you fill up in Cambria it's a hair under 90 miles to Carmel Valley, but often there's a station open in Big Sur, which is more like 70 miles.

Have fun!
