Default Mount Shasta - Looking for Recomendations

I haven't been up to Mount Shasta area since I was a kid. Any good riding around there, good motels and place to eat that you would recommend. I'd be coming from Groveland, Ca. I probably wouldn't want to do Highway 5 all the way there. Might go to Lake Tahoe first then head towards Shasta on Highway 89, crossover somewhere to view Mt. Shasta. Still planning, thanks.

Regards,
MC

Shasta is tweaker central , leave nothing unlocked or in sight for any length of time.

Next thing is when you planning this ? over 5000 foot there's still serious snow a lot of off the main path secondaries are still closed. I was considering a ride up to Mt Lassen in few weeks till I checked the roads. Tahoe still has big snow banks and 30's in temps right now, buddy was up there last weekend.

I just read 89 through Lassen National Park is still closed, 40 foot snow drifts in some areas. So I’d have to go around that. I wanted to leave on May 13th. I can get to Tahoe on 88 or 50. Tahoe was in the upper 50’s today, upper 30’s at night. I don’t plan on riding at night. It was damn near that cold on our trip to Monterey a couple days ago. I was wearing heated liner and gloves under my leathers in the morning. Of course I’d bring all my gear again. I’ll keep checking the weather forecast.
