Greetings Yankees from the coastal deserts to your South!
Have any of you hardy Northerners bicycled these lovely roads? Hwy 36 & 299 between Red Bluff & Humboldt (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=red+bluff,+ca&daddr=US-101+N+to:willow+creek,+ca+to:S+Market+St+to:red+bluff,+ca&hl=en&geocode=FTkTZQIdStS2-ClLdbkQsIOCgDFadjaHvgQKKQ%3BFZZ-awIdglqZ-A%3BFTmwcAIdr4ih-CnDZ6Jbu33RVDHKeRBy7Culrg%3BFcoiawIdsIS0-A%3B&mra=ls&dirflg=w&sll=40.543026,-122.536011&sspn=0.777466,1.738586&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=9).
These roads have always been hallowed ground to me, but I've only ridden them on a motorcycle, and it's been a few years. I'm interested in coming up there later in the Spring (with my bicycle this time) to see some trees, greenery, and silly-string roads.
I know the spacing between the stores is more oriented toward motorized travel, but I earnestly want to pedal this ride via credit-card touring and staying in motels. Any guidance you can lend would be much appreciated!
