California Coastline Ride
This is always a favorite tour because of the diversity of landscapes. Begin in Venice, one of the world's most filmed beaches, before heading north along Sunset Strip and through the Santa Monica Mountains to the Rock Store on Mulholland Highway. For years this out-of-the-way BBQ joint has called on Los Angeles' motorcycle riders. It is one of many famous biker haunts along this journey; The Deer Lodge and Camp Scheideck are two other roadhouses you pass on today's ride.
The second day's ride is spectacular as you pass through farmlands, Fresno, and Sierra National Forrest to Yosemite National Park. Sheer rock-face cliffs, waterfalls, abundant wildlife, thousand year old Giant Sequoia trees assault the senses while winding through this awesome place.
Then over to San Francisco for a relaxing afternoon and evening down town and at Fisherman's Wharf. The next stop is Hollister, California, famous for the 1947 motorcycle riot which the Marlin Brando Film, Wild One, is based on. Eat lunch at Johnny's, the same bar that Wino Willy rode into on his Harley in 1947. The area surrounding Hollister is great for getting a taste of the old cowboy days of farming and ranching and the old seaport days of Cannery Row, which inspired Charles Dickens. Stay downtown in Monterey.
The route from Monterey to Los Angeles is one of the most awe-inspiring rides in the world. The coastline twists along flat, sandy beaches and high, rocky cliffs as you travel along 300 miles of California seashore through Big Sur, Pismo Beach, Santa Barbara, Malibu, and the Santa Monica Mountains.
This tour has everything: Los Angeles, one of the most influential cities in the world, and the naturally beautiful desert and mountain wilderness. Sitting, talking, and listening to the waves crash is always a fantastic and memorable experience. Ride Free never tires of this great feeling of friendship and freedom.
