[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 575457, member: 151"] Y'know, IF you're going to start early, there won't be that many tourists on Hwy 1 (either direction). The motorhome/van crowd usually doesn't hit the road until after breakfast (0900). IMO, the ride South is a more spectacular visual experience once you're below Monterrey BUT there's easy route across to Hwy 101 for a looooong way. Heading North on Hwy 1 it doesn't get twisty and lovely until you're above Bodega Bay. I went back and looked at the Trophy Princess' (Tyler's) North route with my map in hand. I'd still vote for that ride. While not along the coastline, there are some amazing motorcycle experiences to be enjoyed on that ride. Keep in mind that Hwy 1 between Bodega Bay-San Francisco-Monterrey (when not actually IN the cities/metro areas) is fairly straight and flat along the coastal sections. The twisting and turning photos you see where the highway turns through inlets and cross small bridges, when there are miles of that sort of roadway, are taken 10-20 miles (and more) above Bodega or below Monterrey.
