Bay Area Road Reports

[Desmostro]

Pescadero /Skyline

the first thing I saw was a BMW getting fished out of the weeds and a guy in his torn T-SHIRT  standing there looking stupid. 

Dry but dusty and still quite slippery.  A couple of moving water crossings to watch out for on both roads. I lost traction a couple of times on all the dust and dried moss on the roads. 

The construction on Pescadero is done but they left grooves in the road.   

I went for a ride for the first time in months after the European part of my 'round the world in 80 days' trip. Man was I rusty. I stopped by Mr I.  and Somegirl's place on the way through but they hid In the basement as usual.

Was that on Sunday?  We thought we saw you riding by as we were walking the dogs.  I had waved but no response.

You know on weekends I'm in the garage out back right? That driveway goes for like, a mile-ride around back 


Roads seem to be all clear these days. Current issue is a lot of police presence around 35/84 and the squids.

Lots-o-mud at the end of Redwood road, Oakland side.

Anyone see the flipped Honda today? (4-17-10).  Wondering if the guy lived, from what I saw on the tow truck it did not like good.


Also, -1 for the twenty million flares and the ashes left behind all over the road from the 8 CHP I saw.

You know....the bay area is big and all-location would help?


I see so many of those ashes Monday mornings sometimes I think it snowed.

Whoops, mean redwood road, sorry.

TBH, if you would have seen this make the beast with two backsing honda, you would know what I was talking about.

Tons of cops on 84 today.

[PhoenixS4R]

Someone ran into a rock face on a.....scooter....today.

Please tell me someone has more info on that?


Also, I think the accident count from the limited time I was on that cop infested road was 6.  Ride safe.

They've repaved Hwy 1 in Marin in a coupla key spots.  Heading north, just past Bolinas, there were deep drop-offs on the right side of the road that were kinda hard to see.  Total ball-crushers.  They're now smooth.

Also, just north of Pt. Reyes, heading North, there used to be AWFUL pavement on the uphill right hander (about 1 mile up the road or so from Pt. Reyes).  If you didn't know it was there, it was easy to get caught out.  They've smoothed it over as well.

tunitas creek road, decending from skyline.. beware..

gravel in the worst place and decending from skyline, there are no warning signs if you go west.. only ascending from 1 near the junctions.

blind turns into large patches on the down.. does not get any worse.. it is almost like they were left there intentionally.

most of the road looks fine, just patches here are there make it appear solid... nope.. wheels sliding all over.. even straights.....

road report 12/27/2010

Hwy1 Marin pretty dang good actually, though places in the trees like Dogtown is full of leaves and pretty wet.
        On the way there though, Mill Valley is wet.

HWY 1 south peninsula quite good as well.

84 pretty wet and draining

35 piles of pine needles and draining roads. Slime and dirt. Many section you must ride in the car tire tracks to avoid large sections of gravel and foliage.

On Panoramic hwy (Mt. Tam, Marin) there was a slide just past the Pantoll intersection, heading west. It has been cleared, but there was a huge mud patch yesterday. Hopefully the rin this week will wash it away. (and not cause any more slides!)

On a positive note: Skaggs Springs Road is warm and dry, litter free, and the tourists have all gone home.  I was out there on Monday at lunch time and I could have had a sammich on the asphalt. Beautiful out there.  I'm sure the weekend will be another story altogether.  Oh well.
