Those considering a similar route should skip Highway 92 (which is indeed horrible at some points) and venture a bit south to Tunitas Creek/Kings Mountain (beautiful, steep on Tunitas side) or go a little further south to Highway 84 (less beautiful, less steep, less climbing, more cars but perfectly fine for bikes). South of Highway 84 there are more great roads off Highway 1. Bike tourists riding down the coast of California often don't know about the best side roads. I know the roads south of San Francisco because that's my home turf, but I've found it more than worthwhile to ask local cyclists in areas I don't know. I've ridden the coast several times, and every time the best roads were not on the standard route. The Unknown Coast. Philo-Greenwood Road. KING RIDGE!!! Bay Hill Road, Willow Creek, Coleman Road, Bonny Doon, Bolinas-Fairfax Road. And so many others.
