I went Banden OR to Monterey Ca last year, on a geared bike.
Yes, there are some mountains, and just south of SF can be a nightmare, mountains, no shoulder, lots of traffic. You don't want to screw around.
Also, I live in Big Sur right now, also hilly in every direction so you want to make sure you're really comfy for the long (and long and up and long) haul.
Oh and can you get a rack on there to carry your crap?
