WOW!!!!

Snow bound in WI. with sloppy salted roads. Cold front moving in, the mended bones feel it negative temps by mid week, many many heart felt thanks for all your B E A Utiful posts & ride pictures.

This chit just MAY keep the cabin fever away for me.

Always look forward to your trip reports. First class as usual.

Now my mouth is watering for cheese curds from Tillamook Creamery.

That was great. Those of us up to our sphincters in snow appreciate the mind trek. Very Happy

Thanks, FD.

Awesome report and stunning pictures!!
I regret for taking a wrong curve and not rode the CA33, as JO recommended before my trip to California last september.....
I love this pic, with the Bixby Bridge, built in 1932!

Though similar in contruction, the Bixby Bridge if farther north than that one - which is the Big Creek Bridge.

Here's the Bixby Bridge from another coast ride in 2007:

Thanks for the report and pics...especially the ones that show sunshine. I forgot what that looked like! Thanks to the typical overcast sky and rain.

I've got to ride that coast again. Preferably before the road gets bogged down with Winnie's. Anyway, Santa Cruz to Astoria was great in Mar 2006...except for the blinding snow storm that forced me to do a 180 back to Willits, CA. Fortunately I was only 3 miles north of Willits when the road turned white with 1+" of snow.

The key is to run the coast mid-week when school is in session. January is great if the weather works out and you've got heated gear. Early May has a few more cars but the weather is warmer.

After I bought my K1100RS in Malibu, I rode it home in July. Went mid-week so it wasn't too bad. There were lots of bikes (to pass Very Happy

) though as some race at Laguna Seca had just finished.

I really enjoyed seeing pix of many of the roads I have expierenced.
I just discoverd Hwy 58 a couple of years ago. Embarrasinfg considering I went to school in San Luis Obispo.
