Consider taking Cloverdale and Gazos Creek rather than heading directly to Highway 1. They're generally warm and sunny with no cars. Highway 1 will likely be cooler, windier, and have much more traffic. If you're planning to ride down the coast, you'll get more than enough of that...
FYI, the bakery
has a website. If you like artichokes, don't miss the artichoke garlic herb bread! Especially if you arrive when they're coming out of the oven...
