California Highway 1 (LA to SF)
Anyone done this ride?
Planning on taking a road trip to SF via I-5 in august and I never taken any other freeway.
It adds almost 3 hours to my trip but is it worth it? Going with my girlfriend.

Re: California Highway 1 (csingham)
You better make it a day trip with planned stops. Also, if you are doing it on a weekend, plan on it being even longer as some sections can slow down quite a bit
are you going I-5 or hwy1?
Took I-5 from Monteray to sacramento after motogp a few years back. Worst ride of my life. Save your sanity and take hwy 1. That would be a kick *** ride.

hwy 5 is no where near monterey. Did you take 156 to 152 to 5?

I rode from Santa Cruz to SF then North until it ended. Definitely an awesome road. I was surprised how good people were about using the turnouts when they were slowing us down. It was also pretty chilly.

Re: California Highway 1 (csingham)
Assuming all sections of the road are open, it is a beautiful ride that everyone should make at least once in their life. The section between Moro Bay and Big Sur = beautiful.
Be prepared to pay for the most expensive gas in the nation on that section of road (probably $6.00/gallon).

I remember gas was 4.99 when gas anywhere else was about 250
