Great area, I grew up on King's Mountain at the top of Purissma Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. The redwoods there were logged at least twice, first over a hundred years ago and then again in the 1960's and 1970's before the area was preserved as a park.
Sweet video. I've biked the HMB Coastal trail with those yellow flowers too in early spring this year. There are two different plants... Mustard and some other flower..I want to say sheeps foot or something like that. there are mustard farms along the coast. and the Purisima climb is a bit tough for me on a 12speed.. have ridden most of your loop on various bikes: MTB, gravel, and road bike. Very cool to link them up for a loop! I always love the Redwoods in my backyard! But I will try this loop from Pillar Pt on my gravel bike this summer 22. Not a fan of HWY1 though. Thanks!
I think for the most part, our experience on Hwy 1 was ok. We seemed to be riding in the more crowded areas where drivers don't pick up as much speed, but yeah, I can see that on other parts...
I love the rides in Half Moon Bay. We often stay at the Pillar Point Rv park. I want to ride the south part of your ride. I noticed a sign at the Parisima trail head forbidding e-bikes. I'm 75 and use my e-bikes for exercise and exploring. Were there any other parts of this loop that had ebike restrictions. The plateau near the "golf ball" radar tower is one of my favorite rides. Thanks
One of my favorite parts of this world. Thanks for the ride ideas for our next trip!
Still some coast I haven't yet around there...
Great video. I biked from Pillar Point Harbor to the Ritz Carlton with my kids. Very windy but oh so fun.
Windy, but very calming...
The best part of the world. Can't wait to take my bike down there soon!
And the bloom should be coming
Nice, Currently purchased a new gravel bike and will be utilizing your travels. ThankS!
Great! Always share pics.
MEGA CLASSIC!
It's got to be a great time to head out there now.
Thanks for the share, we followed your path today, great ride.
Oooh. Weather's been good lately!

I'd have to check what shape the preserve is in now. I know there was some problems with the rains last year.
I rode down Kings mountain road when I was in high school with a friend on a tandem bike with no brakes! You're never afraid in high school.😊

Great video, thank you Is it passible all the way right now?
Thank you for sharing! My friend and I are coming to Cali to do some gravel bike :) Your video came right on time!
Nice! Let us know how it goes!
He has a couple more Cali videos too.
Great Video and Commentary!
Thanks. Maybe I don't need a voice coach after all..
Another great video I passed through on one of my favorite bike packing trips this looks like a great reason to revisit
A few reasons for return.
I’ve done parts of this ride. I plan to do your route soon. Thanks for the video 😀👍🏽
Next time we'll go higher into the redwoods.
Great vid as always, thanks!
Thanks. I'm sure there's a lot more smiles out there on this route...
great video, thanks for all your hard work!
That's a great ride.

Looks amazing.m
Definitely. Surprised to catch that bloom in January.

I'm not sure about the restrictions, but I guess I didn't catch any on camera.
It's pretty there, very different compared with Florida where I live. 👍
This ride has it all...
Another universe in every respect. I am very familiar with both.
Dude those are coastal
Monterey Cypress trees. Way too cold in NorCal for banyan trees.
Good call.
Great video! Did you make a Strava route you can share?
I always add route info in the description.
Nice. What tire size is recommended for the ride?
You can definitely get by with skinnier. I was riding 40s, but you should be fine with 32s.
Did you get to munch at Dad’s Luncheonette?
That was the plan, but they had to close for 30 minutes to resupply...
@@GravelBikeCalifornia Bummer!
