Not many people doing high speeds there, I think they laid that surface for the benefit of the many cyclists, who bimble along two abreast taking in the aroma of the Redwoods! Low speed limits too. Could be very tricky trying to make the most of it on your 'sickle. Better to go to rural Spain, where all the locals have deserted the farmland to live in cities, leaving behind some very squiggly roads resurfaced at huge expense with EU money. You can go mad. Miles and miles of Brands Hatches, with one car per hour coming the other way.

Saw a video on youtube last week that looked like exactly that, some 600cc sport bikes going for it for around 10 miles between two towns, absolutely on it the whole way, thought nah they must get picked up somewhere, locals enraged etc, but saw a few folk say the same as you, basically no one left in these places to be worth enforcing/bothering them etc.
Might be off to spain end of summer then, might need a faster bike with smooth tyres though.

Sounds like a memorable trip for sure. Almost equally impressed with that road surface, looks like a race track.
