I would not take my kid riding on US101 or CA1, full stop. Way too much RV

I'd do the ACA Transam route from Oregon to Yellowstone NP if it were me
taking my kid. Granted, there is is
I hope I can be organized enough to post stuff. I'm lame at documenting

planning on riding the Pacific Coast route as laid out by Adventure
Cycling. We are not doing the whole trip, but are going to be riding from
