Panoche Road - California
County Route J1

Rider Comments:

• "Stop by Paiciens and get a bite to eat. Some unpaved road, drive calm first time around to get a feel for the road (as you should do with any unknown rode), then backtrack and enjoy. Keep the rubber side down:)" - Rider from Mendota, CA (5/14/10)
• "Top your tank in Hollister, or, as a last resort, in Tres Pinos - next services 76 miles. A little farther south at Paicines, turn left off of Highway 25 onto Panoche Road and head east/south. I put this down as "scenic", but it has great sweepers and a few twisties, as well. Unfortunately, the twisties come where the rocks fall on the road, so be careful. Also, although I've never seen livestock actually on the road, this is cattle and horse country - it just takes one to ruin your day. You can (probably) grab a bite to eat at the Panoche Inn (hours are, shall we say, variable). Just past the restaurant, take Little Panoche Road East over to I-5 for a quicker return. Or if you're the adventurous type, stay on Panoche Road all the way to the end - the New Idria Mines area - better for dirt and sport bikes, not so good for cruisers." - Hy Libby (11/28/09)
