Cycling California's coast in the winter
How about cycling California's coast in the winter time (around christmas)?
We are thinking about San Francisco - San Diego. Is it cold, misty or rainy? Thanks, two dutch cyclists |

Winter is the rain season along the California coast. It doesn't rain every day and sometimes you might get a whole week of sunny weather. Days are short though. Temperature along the coast is generally cool (but generally above freezing at night), though San Francisco is also cool in the summer. If you're camping out, April or May might be a better choice. |

Be forewarned: heavy winter rains can cause flooding and mud slides and may close coast roads. Heavy fog can also be a problem but can appear during any season. Generally speaking, although it is hard to predict major wind patterns, during winner, strong winds will prevail from south to north.

If you're looking for another route that time of year, I rode the Natchez Trace through Mississippi during the first part of December and found good weather. This may vary from year to year, however.
