I'm looking to ride from Santa Cruz to Fort Bragg (day 1, all Hwy1), then to Eureka (day 2), then over Hwy 36 and up to Redding (day 3). I'm shooting for a next Monday departure, but can basically leave any time after Friday.
My question concerns Hwy 36 in the Winter. Can someone with experience, or who lives in the area give me an idea of what to expect?
I rode from Santa Cruz to Pescadero Rd., to Hwy 35, and down Hwy 9 today just to get out and check my rain gear and ride in the hills around here during the rain. No problems encountered on the little test run. I was mostly double checking my new riding gear, as I don't want to get wet. I've got good gear, as far as I can tell, just for reference.
I'm a Hwy 17 commuter, rain or shine, just to give an insight into my experience. I'm a survivor, in other words! :laughing
