I agree with the first post that this is a great route for twisties, switchbacks, etc. I live in SF so I took 280S to 92W. (Heavy traffic on 92W most weekends when the weather is nice) But after turning on 35 (Skyline Rd) you soon forget about the short trip on 92. I took 35 to 84S (LaHonda Rd), past Alice's, and it was just as thrilling as 35. Good pavement, twisties, beautiful scenery, light traffic, great place to hone your cornering skills. From 84, I took Hwy 1 (Cabrillo Hwy) to Pacifica then 280N back to SF. This loop is approximately 80 miles.

We Boots And Jeans Riders stumbled on Hwy 9 while heading to Felton. We were in heavy traffic and decided to exit the freeway in Los Gatos to take the back road to Felton. We were pleasantly pleased with the shape of the road with it's twists and turns. However the traffic was heavy than we were expecting. With slow moving vehicles that refused to use the pull outs in order to let us pass. Granted, we had a late start,( around 12pm.). If you decide to ride this road on a weekend, go early to avoid the vehicle traffic and it can be a fantastic road. Especially if you are not great with twisted roads, this can be a good road to hone your cornering skills, not an easy ride but definitely not a hard technical ride.

A nice cruise that I've done more than a few times. A lot of cool vintage motorcycles and autos out cruising these roads. Not sure how they do it, but the coffee at Alice's is excellent.
