San Francisco on a motorcycle

Riding around the San Francisco region offers a blend of coastal routes, winding hillside roads and scenic stretches across northern California. Over 5 days and roughly 1050 km, I travelled solo through this remarkable landscape, following parts of the Northern Pacific Coast Highway and discovering both iconic views and quieter back‑roads.

The video below provides a full report of the ride, showing the route, scenery and experiences from start to finish. In the sections that follow you’ll find the full route and downloadable GPS tracks.
