Thanks a lot for the tips, I did it, went out on the 9th Sep and got back last weekend. It was amazing, and surprisingly bike friendly.
Jammy - I bumped into some guys on an ACA tour in the Redwoods on the Or/Cal border, doing the same thing as me over a longer time. They had an RV to carry gear and were camping and cooking. I ended up eating out and staying in motels and hostels where available because I didn't want to carry a tent and only had a short time - which worked for me, but it could be done a lot cheaper and healthier. Keeping tabs on the noticeboards there loads of US tour stuff comes up. I'll be doing so in future.
SiFriday - I stayed a night in Crescent City funnily enough. Did you hug the coast on the way down? I went inland through washington and got on the coast at Bandon, half way through Oregon. Couldn't get over how hilly Oregon and northern California was!
xyz - Yeah! The coast was just mind blowing at times. I enjoyed California immensely. My highlights being the area around Big Sur, the Cambria Scarecrow festival, and cycling over the Golden Gate bridge - which has a fenced off cycle lane on one side believe it or not!
