Northern California 2 day Ride

This is a great route. Skaggs Road, Hwy 128, and Hwy 20 are 3 of the best sportbike roads in California. Its about a 500 mile ride from the Bay Area, and could be done in one day if you really push. As with all of these routes, it is best on weekdays, so GrandPa and GrandMa don't hog the road in their motorhome!
Here is the route we took according to my EMap GPS unit.
