Those that voted for Hwy 9 and instead of Hwy 36 (Red Bluff to Fortuna) definitely need to get out of the backyard. Hwy 36 is twenty times better than Hwy 9... literally, it's roughly twenty times longer, and has no traffic. That's right, 140 miles of beautiful curves that vary from one end to the other. I've been on a few other routes on this list but so far, Hwy 36 is bliss.

I think you need to check your math. It's 20 times longer, so it is already AT LEAST 20 times better. The fact that it has almost no traffic, and is more scenic push it closer to 35.86 times better, by my calculations. :laughing

If one bothered to read the thread, one would know that The Isle of Nine, was put into the poll as a bit of whimsy. So :p

Imma go ride Hwy 58 from near Paso Robles across to Bakersfield then up the 178 to Lake Isabella.
Pick up the 155, head west to the 245 then up to Miramonte on the Dunlap rd, to pick up the Elwood/Trimmer Springs/Maxon rds past Pine Flat Lake.
Then head north to Hayfork, hwy 36 etc.

i missed the poll but does westguard pass not count because part of it is in nevada?
36 fifteen years ago was amazing - but they're steady destroying it and making it straight, taking out the jumps, fewer dirt sections etc. - and lots more fuzz up there now too.

from the list you have up there i'd vote for hwy 3 because it has everything and is deserted and holds the allure of adventure above all the others.

Adverse Selection
Taking BARF's advice this weekend. Lynn and Lygia and Marco and Bel have come all the way from Brazil to California to ride, so this weekend we're heading up north to ride at least part of 36. :ride Probably get some Lost Coast in there too, as well as Hwy 1 from Mendocino to Leggett. :party

We are meeting up in Mendocino ~11 AM by the Mendocino Hotel. I'm guessing we'll hit Leggett around 12:30 - 1. From there we'll hit Avenue of the Giants, then out to Honeydew and Petrolia. :banana
