The Avenue of the Giants, just off the 101 north of Garberville is amazing. There is also a redwood forest (Grizzly Creek Redwood State Park) east of Fortuna on hwy 36 that was really fun to ride through. In fact, 36 from Red Bluff to Fortuna was a spectacular ride.
thanks cactusjack. trip postponed until late september. avenue of the giants now mandatory.
Just did the Redwoods last month. Why fly half way. Ride there. 101 to Avenue of the Giants to Hwy 199 into Oregon.
trip postponed to late sept. my GF's good for maybe 250 miles. i on the hand hand like miles. new plan is i jump on in los angeles and pick her up at the san fran airport, we take 3 days to cruise up to eureka and back and i drop her off at san fran airport then head back to los angeles via the pacific coast hwy. everybody wins.
If ya only have a couple days? Just head up 101. Ya aren't gonna have a lot of time up there before ya need to head back. But do the Ave of the Giants at least.
Ever thought of renting a bike from Dudley Perkins HD? One of the oldest dealers in the country, they have rental bikes.
checked them out, thanks. most of the electras from the rental houses in san fran area were grabbed by the europeans for sturgis. that's one of the reasons i postponed the trip.
