IIRC, the freeway goes right through King City without stopping now, and
enforcement would therefore be in the hands of the CHP. Is it still a
speed trap? |

Thirded.
Done the Bay Area - San Diego trip several times, and take 101 every
time.
San Marcos pass is a great detour, too.. you miss some coastline, but
its all windy & foggy anyway
Hwy 1 from SF-SLO, I suppose you have to do it at least once, but the
tourist traffic is unrelenting - it's really the only reason anyone
would take 1 between Monterey & San Simeon, so be prepared for white-
knuckled RV'ers & rental cars, tootling along the 'big scary cliffs'
at a breakneck 35mph. If you've never been, though, I guess its worth
it. The wind is really annoying too.. Try to avoid the weekends, at
least.
Also as others have stated I-5 is a boring blast furnace.. It's where
I discovered that cruise control in my car doesn't work over 100mph.
On a bike that trip would be downright miserable.
Going thru LA isn't quite so bad with all the carpool lanes..takes a
lot of the stress off lane-changers, though folks will cheat & cross
over the quad-yellow lines, so watch out for that... The final ~100mi
of I-5 isn't so bad - It's SoCal, the fwys can really only be so good.
The stretch between Orange County & San Diego is reasonably decent -
depending on the time of day.

I always get nailed in Santa Barbara county rather than
King City. Usually around Santa Maria going south, but
last time, on the downhill stretch headed north towards
Buellton. >> Stay informed about: Question on Ride from SF To San Diego |

You should slow down there anyway to turn off to Solvang and the
Motorcycle Museum.

It's nice to tootle around and explore little side roads when you have
time to spare.
Northern Santa Barbara county has lots of such roads.
Heading south from Solvang on Alisal Rd. takes you through oak trees
covered with Spanish moss to the little known Nojoqui Falls County
Park. The highest waterfall in southern California is there. >> Stay informed about: Question on Ride from SF To San Diego |
