[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1121334, member: 277"] Very close to Santa Cruz, we enjoyed Big Basin Redwoods. We loved the Monterey aquarium, 1/2 a day at least. We loved the ride down to San Simeon and Morrow bay if you have time. We went inland and spent 2 days in Sequoia, we spent 2 days in Yosemite. These were primarily riding days, not hiking. We hit Mono lake and came back across on 108 Sonora Pass. The only issue I had was to look at a map and see that the route is just 200 miles without fully appreciating that with all the switchbacks and hairpins that true ground speed would seldom get up to 40 mph and often was under 30 mph while riding as hard as can be done 2 up. In a week and a half we were able to see and do about 0.01% of what we wanted. Right now we are planning Central CA Take II this fall. [/QUOTE]
