Although driving this scenic roadway may take just a day, bicycling it in a few days is a grueling challenge even for experienced long distance cyclists. Look at Jason Womack's experience (the cyclist that posted this California coast bike tour video). Last summer, Jason rode 500+ miles across the Rocky Mountains; yet, he met his match somewhere along Highway 1. Cycling horror stories about pedaling this route abound so I'm not surprised by Jason's tale.I applaud Jason for testing his limits; it's something we all need to do sometime. Frankly, riding 250 miles of flat land would tucker out just about anyone and flat is not a word that comes to mind when describing this coastline...
