Yes.  Apparently they are using mirrors.  Thanks again, everyone.

Thank you, everyone.  I really appreciate the information and advice.  If anyone knows any ways to avoid the highway in California, especially in the sections that have no or small shoulders, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks again,
Karen

Thank you for the reply.  Could you tell me if the ACA route is different from the Oregon coast bicycle route in the area that the Oregon coast bicycle route covers or is it pretty much the same.

Thanks, again.

Routes / Pacific coast

« on: September 29, 2013, 12:15:10 am »

Hi,

My daughter and a friend are planning to ride the Pacific coast from Bellingham, WA to San Diego.  They are about 200 miles into the trip and have run into some rainy, windy weather.  I am worried about the safety of riding in this weather and along the roads along the route as the cars seem to travel at fairly high speeds on RT 101.

Does anyone know of safer routes to take that do not go on high speed roads?  My daughter and her friend do not care how long the trip takes so any routes that take them on smaller local roads would be fine.

Also, if you have have any information on how safe or not safe you think the Pacific coast route is, could you let me know?  It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
