We left Monterey and continued north on Route 1 toward San Francisco. The California coast is a beautiful ride.

Getting closer to San Francisco, you could tell the ride was about to change.  The traffic started to increase, and what might have been a 2-hour ride, turned into a 4 hour ride.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a nice structure.  It was smaller than we thought it would be.  Getting there, however, was miserable.  All in all – somewhat anti-climatic.  Also, it was cool and drizzly.

Well, we got through that and caught Route 101 to the Fort Bragg area.  We got off of Route 101 and onto Route 20 heading west.  Route 20 is a great ride for motorcycles. It had winding curves through redwood forests.  It was an amazing ride,  It reminded us of the “Tail of the Dragon”” but 15 miles longer!  And the trees – Wow!  And this is only the beginning of the redwood forest.

292 miles today.

Tomorrow we head into the Avenue of the Redwoods.
