Well it looks like I made it under the wire also. I'm going to take off on Friday morning for a all day ride and have them do my seat that morning. It sure looks most of the ride on 41 and 33 should be real nice ride. Not sure what way I'm going to come home but I may come down 101.
Here is a route
http://g.co/maps/854c8 you won't regret one mile of this route until you get to I-5. "for fun, use the 3D Button on Google Maps. For a closer look use Street View.
33 - I like it better northbound
Lockwood Valley Road - very nice road. be careful on a few of the tight turns. There is gas in Frazier Park.
Cerro Noroeste Road - you are on top of a ridge and can see through almost every turn. 50-60-70-80 mph is not a problem.
Soda Lake Road - crosses Carizzo Plains National Monument. 45 miles of some asphalt, mostly hard-pack and gravel. a lot of fun.
58 - Is a fun road.
La Panza Road - nice large lot homes road with a good surface and no stop signs.
Creston Road - good surface with traffic.
River Road - enjoyable flowing road with not much traffic.
Vineyard Canyon Road - would love to live on this not very populated county road. I did see deer feeding in the agri-lands. Some elevation change. Takes you to the San Andreas Fault.
Parkfield - small very nice town with a restaurant. Has a USGS center that monitors the San Andreas Fault.
Parkfield-Coalinga Road - winding county road that leads to Parkfield Grade.
Parkfield Grade - 4 miles of hard-pack with gravel to the top and twistie asphalt down the other side. Watch for cattle and cow patties in the road. Very nice experience.
198 - a race track with traffic to Coalinga. I liked it.
Coalinga - small town with anything you will need.
Los Gatos Road - starts with straight roads through oil fields and cattle ranches. Becomes Coalinga Road, 2 lanes of twisties. Becomes a single lane at the San Benito County line. Winds through the mountains and is a hoot.
25 - beware of aerial police. Smooth, twistie, fast, with too many straights on the north end.
Tres Pinos - small town with a couple places to stop. I suggest FlapJacks Country Kitchen. Got a great tuna sandwich with a fresh salad for $7.95. Gasoline available.
Fairview - bypasses Hollister. Straight with commuting traffic.
156 - truck traffic to and from 152.
Casa de Fruta - Chevron, restaurant, fruit stands, good place to stop for a break
152 & San Luis Reservoir - traffic, trucks, usually good passing lanes, windy, fast, and too many CHP. Four CHP waiting on a downhill slope near the dam.
I-5 - BOORRRIIIINNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!
