[QUOTE="James Burleigh, post: 1121331, member: 4162"] Napa's nice for sure (the Wine Country generally). As far as the coast goes, from Santa Cruz you can head straight up north on Hwy 1, over the GGB, and continue on north along the coast, getting quite far in a day. South from Santa Cruz is Big Sur (which I've got a ride planned for mid-February, starting with a rendezvous in Santa Cruz). The thing to keep in mind about Hwy 1 is...don't be in a hurry. On weekends there can be a lot of cars cruising the sights, and it can get frustrating on a bike, leading to the potential to make poor passing decisions. Be particularly aware of cars pulling across your path on blind curves to cut into look-out spots (more of an issue when you're going south). Also from Santa Cruz is the Bay Area and its roads and sights / sites. JB [/QUOTE]
