They're great, and I highly recommend them. In the case where the Adventure Cycling maps are different from the route in the Kirkendall book, the Adventure Cycling maps have a better route. Keep in mind, the California coast route is not complicated. Mostly, it's Highway 1. Not that many turns. > 2) I live in Oakland...what route do you like best for getting from here to > the Pacific to head out. Would be nice not to take the most strenuous > route to begin. BART. Not strenuous at all. But getting to, say, Santa Cruz is going to require some climbing. Either you go over Devil's Slide, or you ride down the Peninsula and over the coast range. Either way, you'll have to go up. Santa Cruz to Monterey is pretty easy, but then you start climbing again. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
