I have been wanting to that route, but in reverse. If you need any
information about the Arcata area reach out as I've lived here for many
years.

thanks everyone for the information, I am rethinking now and may take the 
coast starlight to Redding or Shasta and ride to Arcata from there, if 
anyone has any tips on roads or campgrounds it would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if you are open to doing multimodal transportation. You can ride 
to San Rafael and get on the SMART train. Then you can ride this tentative 
route from Sonoma County Airport all the way to Eureka. I mainly plotted on 
paved surfaces (not sure what kind of set up do you have). This takes you 
onto the coast from Ukiah to Fort Bragg, then follow HWY 1 to Laytonville.

Thanks for all the tips so far! I'm afraid I don't have the option of north 
to south this time, I am not only doing this for pleasure but also as 
transportation, I need to be in Arcata by the 19th.

2023-04-08 Thread Franklyn Wu 
The prevailing wind is north-to-south, so if you will be on the coast much, 
then going from Arcata to SF is less challenging. There aren't many ways to 
get to Arcata, though, perhaps greyhound bus with your bike packed up?

The biggest recommendation is to do it in reverse! In good weather you get 
a tailwind North to South. Grinding against the headwind South to North is 
no fun. You won't win the fight against mother nature and it won't be
