the only memorable killer hills on the pacific coast route is the section just south of leggett (sp?). it's where the 101 goes around the Lost Coast and hooks into the 1 on the coast. 6-7 % grade for much of the 28mile or so length.
Ok I'm getting ready to take this ride does any one know the elevation gain on this hill? I'm figuring like 2000ish feet. I'm in Colorado and 28 miles at 6% grade is not far off of some of the mountain passes here.
