Nice ride. I would also recommend riding Highway 35 north to Highway 84 west. Stop at Alice's and say high to the dozens (or hundreds on a weekend) of other motorcylists there. Watch for police, as they tend to hang here also. You could even head all the way up to Highway 92 and head west to Half Moon Bay. Beautiful day-long ride if the fogs backs off.
I've ridden these roads dozens, if not hundreds, of times. Most of the roads in this area are scenic and twisty. Sometimes traffic is a problem, especially on Hwy 9, but there are other options. In the summer, check out the strange plant that smells like salami!
