Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / Re: Pacific Coast Section 4 Hwy 1 rockslides south of Big Sur 1/2023

« on: August 05, 2023, 08:24:09 pm »

Has anyone considered using any gravel/dirt roads to bypass the closure?  I've plotted this out on ridewithgps, but 1) I'm not 100% sure where the closure is, so I don't know if this is reconnecting with Hwy 1 (heading south) south of the closure and 2) I can't be totally sure that these roads are public, though in my experience ridewithgps usually won't let me plot a route on closed/private roads.

Routes / Pacific Coast

« on: October 01, 2021, 12:41:51 pm »

I'd like to do the Pacific Coast as my first long distance bike tour.  I'm not constrained by the calendar, so I'm wondering what would be the best time of year to do this?  I was thinking May or September - outside the rainy season, and before or after the summer hordes on Highway 1.  I would be traveling N to S. Thoughts?
