Oh that is so awesome! I've done all those roads - I used to live in Santa Cruz. I have done that same loop, from Monterey over Nacamiento, to the Pinnacles. Those are some truely excellent roads, and not well known in the touring community.
Nacamiento is..... kinda steep
I did that in May a few years ago, and the flowers were insane. DId you sleep in one of those campgrounds above Ft. H-L? I had that same deal with the wind on Jolon Road. We stopped in King City for lunch, and I got a "BLT" - turns out, the "B" in "BLT" was..... "B"read. WTF? after all that riding, a lettuce and tomato sandwich! Dominos sounds waaay better.
If you do it again, there is a back road, "Cienega Road" that cuts off between Hwy 25 north of the pinns to get you to Hollister. It is one of the best cycing roads I have ever been on - green, rolling, no traffic, nice pavement.... sigh. I guess I kind of miss California.
