Awesome info!  We've decided to take a tent a light sleeping bags along so we can camp every couple of nights.  The bikes are now at the shop receiving slightly more forgiving gears and a tune up. 

We'll be finishing up our tentative planned stops in the next few days.

Great info!  We are still working out the details about lodging and such (not sure if we want to haul camping gear).  I think we are just going to re-gear our cross bikes so we can carry the bags and go from there.

How could I go about getting the elevation gain and loss on this route?  I'm hoping it will help me plan how much mileage I should plan on each day.

The wife and I are going to start in San Francisco and bike both sections 4 & 5 of the Pacific Coast tour starting on 18 July 11.  We are still putting the final touches on stops and logistics.  We plan to stay in hotels/hostels the entire way down.

Suggestions and experiences are greatly appreciated.  I'll update this periodically with our plans.

We are going to take our cross bikes instead of our tandem in order to be able to take the train back up to Nor Cal. 

Cheers

I agree with the 49 to 20 idea.  We live in the Nevada City area and are willing to host cyclists if you need a place to crash.
