A CSC PCH Run?

I’ve been thinking about it…maybe a 3-day ride from the plant up to Carmel, taking in the best part of the Pacific Coast Highway (from Cambria to Carmel).   Check out a few of the scenes from my recent run up the coast along this stretch…

That’s the Bixby Bridge in that next-to-last photo, and it’s got a pretty cool story behind it.  It was the bridge that completed the route along the Pacific, and it was part of Roosevelt’s effort to lift the US out of the Great Depression (the Bixby Bridge was a real “shovel-ready” project if ever there was one).  The cost estimate for the Bixby Bridge was a whopping $203K back in 1930…and those fellows completed it for just $199,861!

The Pacific Coast Highway really is one of America’s crown jewels.    My two all time favorite roads in the US are Highway 12 in Utah (from Bryce National Park to Capitol Reef) and the PCH.  They’re both great.

I’m thinking maybe a Friday-to-Sunday ride, maybe toward the end of February for a PCH run.  Let me know if you’re interested.  If we get enough CSC riders I’ll start scheduling it.

Ride safe, my friends.  I’m on the road again tomorrow!
