The low humidity should make it bearable.

Have a great trip. I’m confused by your lodging list. Where are you picking up PCH?

Thanks Stichill!.... what did you change?

I guess I was considering the road along the Pacific coast is being the Pacific Coast Highway but I guess that really stops in California.

At Fort Bragg will pick up 101 called the Pacific coast Scenic byway or Oregon Coast Highway.

Just didn't want to hit all those major cities.

Looks like fun Paul. I want to do that. Be safe, and enjoy thoroughly.

That’s a fine route, but you will definitely hit traffic and congestion around Lake Tahoe.

Once in SW Oregon, see if there’s any way you can make a half-day detour to see Crater Lake, even if only for an hour.

Oh, and enjoy the MOA!

I have not ridden there..it's on my bucket list, too. I think I'd try to include at least the stretch of 101 in California from LA north to the state line because I've seen so many great pictures for the area and I loved passing through there on a family vacation 45 years ago. Traffic would definitely be an issue so if/when I go, I'm thinking that most of my riding in this section would be done in early mornings...then maybe hit a beach or go for a hike or do something touristy when the roads get annoyingly crowded. Remember, though, I've not been out there in 45 years and then I was in the back seat of a rental car. LOL Also, remember, if you can only ride half of the coast, you'll just have to plan another trip for the other half.

Wow, Great Trip is ahead of you. I did something similar to this 2 years ago during Aug. Only advise is to try not to push it on really hot days. I did and paid price a couple of days ... not feeling good, sitting outside minimarts suckin 2 or 3 gatorades tryin to recoup. Not very smart.
