I feel like reply #26 needs more realistic info added to it. This 'detour' would make for a crazy, crazy day for a loaded touring cyclist. The link you provided was from the bottom of N-F Road and into Paso Robles, over 70 mi and 6k elevation gain. That doesn't include the ~20 or 30 miles and another couple thousand ft elevation gain from the bypass trail. There is no camping on N-F Road at ALL. No dispersed camping allowed either. An illegal camp fire set off the Soberanes Fire last summer and the local people are on edge, looking for illegal camping and reporting it. Law Enforcement is making extra patrols as well. N-F Rd is the only road in for the construction traffic that is trying to clear up the road conditions on HWY 1. Heavy Trucks on a narrow, windy, country road; shared with local traffic and tourist as well. There are 2 campgrounds coast side within 5 miles of N-F Rd. that would make this route more realistic. Kirk Creek and Plaskett Creek. Kirk Creek doesn't have water though. It is not impossible, I just thought that a little more context was needed.
