To keep my legs up off season, I ride indoors all winter on a bike trainer.  To keep from being bored outa my skull I watch training videos from around the world; Australia, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, etc.  

This morning I spent 90 minutes riding the Pacific Coast Highway north from near Point Reyes all the way to Manchester.  I had never been to or seen the PCH before this and it must have been a relatively recent video (and in 4K, too!) because of the several places along that route where they were restoring/clearing the uphill side of the road from mudslides.  Grass was brown so it was during the dry season, too... Maybe last Fall?

Anyway, WHAT A GORGEOUS ROAD!!!!   I can now see why people rave about it.  Must have been off-season a bit as there were almost no RVs out there, but the curves, the elevation changes, the scenery changes - everything was just gorgeous.

I'm very jealous of you folks who can drive it from time t time......

Here's the video link - Beware, it is over 4 HOURS long and you can bump the resolution up.....

PCH is beautiful !  I'm not sure that all of the video is PCH though. It looks as if they went on side roads for some of it. That's OK though. The video is still pleasing and tranquil.

Last Sept. we took PCH from LA to San Diego through all the beach cities on our way to Baja. It had been many years since I had done this. Lots of it hasn't changed and other parts I didn't recognize. Still though, we drove thru all the classic California beach towns . That old excitement came back remembering when I used to go down that way to chase girls. I was telling my wife about those memories and she told me that she was in the same places checking out the boys ! Her and her Sister used to rent a cottage in Laguna Beach for a week in the summer. PCH was the way you got to San Diego before the fwy.  Great memories of those times ! Even now it's still fun. Especially in our Cars !  Maybe we should plan a group cruise/trip this summer ?

Thanks for posting that video Gordon !
