Written Directions

It is route 152, but the beginning of the interesting riding starts at Casa de Fruta at 10011 Pacheco Pass Highway 152, Hollister, CA 95023. It runs east from there to the Petro DIner at 28991 West Gonzaga, Santa Nella, CA 95322.

Scenery

This route runs through Southern Coast Range in California. The scenery is comprised of rolling hills dotted with hardy blue oaks in a sea of golden grass unless you're riding in early spring, then you'll see that grass green for just 2 to 3 months. The route passes by San Luis Reservoir.

Drive Enjoyment

The pavement is new, no pot holes or aberrations and very few side roads to introduce cross traffic.

Tourism Opportunities

In the 25 miles, there is only a turn off to Pacheco State Park just before San Luis Reservoir on the right, a day use park for hiking. Otherwise between start and finish no services. That said, the Casa de Fruta and the Petro Diner are fine places to eat.

Fast run, long sweeping curves. Not a very scenic route. Was looking for a fast route to the I5, this is it. Some traffic. Good road, well maintained.

Nothing to write home about on this ride, but it’s a pleasant way to connect the East/west valley portion of the state. I’ll take this route from San Jose to Yosemite when I don’t feel like dealing with 4 lane highways all day long even though it’s out of the way.
