I have been on this road many times over the years. The best place to start is Oakhurst and follow the Golden Chain Hwy until Grass Valley. It is not a one day trek but well worth the effort. It is one of the richest areas in California history, and there is no shortage of things to see. The entire length of the road is one Historical landmark after another, take your camera, sleeping bag, and tent. You can camp along the way, San Andreas is the best place as it is near the midway point. Roads are fantastic, traffic is not too bad, spring the weather is a bikers dream 70's - 80's. Most likely you will need to make 2 or more trips, there is just that much to see.
