I am on a RV trip out here today at the Watsonville KOA. We were at Manresa beach today and the tide was going out. We saw quite a few people riding their bikes at the water line. It looks like a clear shot from New Brighton to Moss Landing. I don’t know if you would consider that dull, as it’s all completely level. But it certainly seems doable on a MTB. I guess you might run afoul of some private beaches to the south? I was thinking of riding from here to Aptos and Nisene Marks and I didn’t see any obstacles to that, anyhow.
