For sure. It looks like a great road. They don’t take into account that you’re driving in 1st or 2nd gear and enjoying the scenery.

Expect the coast to be cool (mid 40’s to mid 50’s), wet, and breezy. Fleece and Goretex are your friends.

I also recommend driving all the way up the coast. The part you’re missing in your map...

Re: Bicycle Rack Recommendation Wanted

I'm pretty sure that if forks couldn't take side to side stress, they would get destroyed on the trail long before the rack would hurt them. And that is regarding mountain bikes. For road bikes,...
