So...

I'll be heading to Laguna Seca again for the WSBK round with my fellow partner in crime and possibly another rider or two. This year, My buddy suggested we leave a day or two early and head to Frisco... see the sights and hit a few quality roads. Since I have No idea what roads to hit/visit... I figured i'd submit request to the MOB Gods for assistance.. Maybe meet up with a few riders ??


Much Thanks in advance

so much goodness...  what route are you coming up?  I am assuming coastal route, when u get to Santa Cruz, come up thru Boulder Creek, 9 I think, 35 is nice too, stop at Alice's for lunch & gas & go explore...

North Bay (North of SF) = many many Marin routes/loops of Moto-Nirvana to choose from

Weekdays are best, get started early, you will have roads pretty much to yourselves during week from 9-3

hit us up as dates come closer!

This is what I do from the south to San Francisco:
33
58
La Panza Road
Creston Road
Overnight in Paso Robles
101
G14
101
G16
1
9
35
92
1
Overnight in Bay Area

Beyond SF, there's loads of good stuff to choose from.

Inland ~half of Skaggs Spring Road is really cool, but speed limit is low.
From the middle out to the coast is pretty much a paved goat trail.

What everyone else said.  In the Santa Cruz mtns, 9, 35 and 84.  Yummy.

HWY 1 In Marin County, Just north of GG Bridge.

And this.  Hwy 1 is lots of goodness all the way up north of the City.

Our routine short weekend ride is an out and back.  From SF, Golden Gate Bridge to Marin.  Either Hwy 1 or Panoramic (usually Panoramic) to Stinson Beach, Hwy 1 up to Tomales and then back.  It's 100 miles round trip.  You can just keep heading north on Hwy 1 to Bodega Bay and it's good stuff too.   

Post up as the date get closer.

Since we take the 23 -150-33-58 then up to G roads(not sure which cuz I dont usually plan the route) to Carmel Valley every year for the races, We figured we're gonna leave either Wednesday or Thursday early and hustle to S.F ( or as close as possible till we tire out and wanna chill).. Likely take 5 or 101 up. Which leaves ALL of Friday to goof about in the Bay area. Ultimately returning to Monterrey area Friday night.

Much thanks for the sugestions... Now I have some roads to look up  waytogo waytogo

If you want to save time, take the 5 instead of the 101.

But it's brutally boring.

I shudder at the thought of riding any kind of sport bike up the 5....

If I had a Friday free this might be what I would do. It's long and ambitious, but life is short and I think the section of Hwy 1 between the coast and Legget is worth it.
