That section of Highway 1 is one of my favorite roads, but sustaining a brisk pace WILL eventually get you an introduction to the guys in black and white.



Good call taking 9 and Skyline out of Santa Cruz. All the Ferrari and Lamborghini owners in Los Gatos make sure that road is always in good conditon.



You may want to consider taking my other favorite, Highway 49, when you head back south. You can catch it off of Highway 80 in the foothills of Auburn, and travel the Gold Country south for about 6 hours. There are plenty of twisties, good lunch spots in Placerville, Sonora, and Mariposa, and not too many speed traps (but watch out in Angels Camp).
