Highway 1 - San Mateo Coast - By Guest

Great Ride! Youthful Memories! Nice beaches! Nicks is excellent --fresh Oysters. Last there in 2008, much more traffic now. Heading there this year. For an excellent loop ride, once in Santa Cruz head up Hwy 9 to Skyline Blvd (a 4 way stop) turn left to head back toward SF. Be sure to stop a Alice's Restaurant (inspired by Arlo) -- They have great hamburgers, good service and a biker friendly destination (30+ years). At this Junction you'll have several choices, west to the coast, east down to San Mateo or continue north toward Half moon bay road were Skyline Bvld ends, either turn right to go to Hwy 280 or left to Hwy 1.
