This is a great ride. Take it to or from Reno. You can pick up Hwy. 49 off Iinterstate 80 in Auburn.Nice restaurants in Downeville and one great little one in Sierraville. This will be one of your favorite rides ever!

One of my favorite rides ever. Go in the morning in the summer like I did and you'll experience perfect weather and a relatively solitary ride all the way through. You'll be surrounded by nothing but trees along the way to the generous smattering of tourist rest stops and gas stations.

The pavement is stellar; there are very few sketchy patches if at all. The curves are in huge abundance at the midway point. Good pavement a lot of curves with strong visibility really let you cut loose.

All around this is a great route. Lots of gorgeous vistas, plentiful rest stops, and well-paved twisties.

The only bummer is that I went through maybe 4 construction zones where I had to stop for a good accumulated chunk of time. Maybe it was just bad luck that day, but it was the only real damper to what was an overall blissful, perfect ride.

i LOVE this route. So good, has twisties galore.
Some tight stuff, some sweepers. You go through towns, nice scenery, plenty of gas along the way and places to eat. Love it. I go from nevada city up to sierraville, the roads get lots of gravel starting around bassetts. I do this route often

I've taken this road many times up to the point of Sierraville; it's a absolutely beautiful ride. In wet season because of so much tree cover the moisture will stay on the road a long time. Also about a mile from Sierraville, coming from Nevada City, there's a super smooth flat open country road, that begs for speed - and a State Trooper waiting on the other end. Enjoy!!!

From the funky small town of Nevada City, you travel all typical mountain terrain with groups of fairly tight curves--then it eases up to lesser curves. There's a good variety of trees, viewpoints of deep

This is a great ride, especially towards the fall when heat and traffic wane. It's an easy addition to many other great rides in the area to make a full day outing! Worth every mile whether on my Indian Chieftain or Triumph ThruxtonR

Very nice ride! The roadway is very well maintained. Be sure to eat at The Ridge Cafe in North San Juan, very tasty food! Gluten free options.

This is one of the best rides in Nor Cal in my humble opinion. From Sattley to the valley (Nevada City) it flows in a curving riding rhythm that, for the longest time, maintains that sublime line between speed and cornering ease. Excellent ride.

I rode this route a little bit more than a year ago when i had just bought my old ninja 250. Unbelievably gorgeous. It is time for me to go on this route with my gixxer 600, soon!
