A friend and I are considering doing this. I don't know where to start. Does anyone have any experiences doing this?
Any links would be appreciated!
Thanks.

OK So Cal from San Diego to No Cal the Oregon border?
I have ridden from LA to San Francisco and from SF to LA. It's easier South than North which is why most people do it that way.

Take a look at the Adventure Cycling Association. They have lots of good advice, routes and maps.

supposedly the prevailing winds blow from north to south. i didn't notice any difference with the wind, but i prefer to be on the ocean side of the road
