Coalinga / Harris Ranch Run
These are 2 different but nearly the same routes. Both are allot of fun. The Coalinga Run the way Tim and the BAVFR group run it is quite a bit longer. The Harris Ranch Run is much shorter on the return, which is a good thing because you will be so full from lunch at Harris Ranch
- Coalinga Run
- A good place to start is at the Chevron Station on Highway 25 and 156 in Hollister.
- From there go south on Highway 25 to Old Coalinga Road
- Take Old Coalinga Road until it turns into Los Gatos Road which will turn into Tornado rd.
- Go right on Oil City Road all the way into Coalinga. Get gas here.
- Take 198 West and stop at Priest Valley Station for Lunch.
- Continue on 198 West and go under 101 then make a right on Oasis Road
- Follow Oasis Road north back to 101.
- Take 101 north for a few exits and get off at Arroyo Seca Road.
- Make a right on Carmel Valley Road and follow this road all the way up to Seaside.
- From Seaside there are many possible routes back to the bay area. My favorite is to go north to Santa Cruz then take Highway 9.
