Pacific Coast Highway Motorcycle Trip
Total Duration: 15 days
Total Distance Traveled: 7,605 km
Description: This trip was done with my wife in July 2014. The route down as far as Morro Bay, CA was primarily along the coastline so the temperatures were comfortable. I do not recommend taking the return route home up the interior of California and Oregon in July as we did because it was just too swelteringly hot on a bike.
