Hwy 9 is an awesome road to ride!! I'm lucky to live right off of it! I'm in Zayante which is a small suburb of Felton just minutes away from the 9. I know the road well and great roads (read just as fun as hwy 9!)that are in my immediate area! You can get into some amazing twisties all the way over to Hwy 1 on the coast then it's WOT north or south until you hit Half Moon Bay or Santa Cruz! Was just about to put up on a post for South Bay Buellers until I decided to explore this posting. Lookn to meet up with someone in the bay for a ride (or Santa Cruz buellers if they're out there!-I've seen one or two of you out there.) Also looking for a bay area bueller with ecmspy.... Kris
