This route is crappy for sport bikes. I guess it could be cool on a harley, maybe going through the almond festival. But if you are a young guy on a sport bike, dont do it! it sucks, just go hwy 5 to hwy 20. Thats a better route. Too many small towns and slow speed limits. no good twists.

The directions as described work well and the best way to tackle this road. The bottom section is through farm land, then starts rolling hills for a bit around Cache Creek Casino. That is a great place to stop for bikes with a smaller gas tank. The canyon ride begins shortly after this and is (somewhat obviously) the most fun part of the ride. As per much of the Nor-Cal canyon rides, there are potential for rock/mud slides and there were in a couple of places softball sized rocks on the road. So, lots of care needs to be taken - especially on the blind corners.
