What a neat day. Transition from the redwood forests to the coast. It doesn’t get prettier or more dramatic. This is also a day that has something for everyone. For those that like to climb long steep hills, ther is a four mile climb that approaches 10% at one point. For those that like screaming downhills, how about a ten mile downhill race. Forests? The first 20 miles. Ocean? The next 20 miles. Flat land? How about an easy 20+ miles. You leave the redwoods behind and now feel the salt spray of the ocean. A perfect and beautiful day. I’d rate it easy if it were not for the long steep start of the day climb and a shorter but steep climb at mile 18. Have fun and enjoy the day. HWY 1, PCH, here we come! Oh, and watch out for the incredibly complex route instructions (not).
