Roadway: Narrow two lanes without a center line and in rough condition in spots.
Traffic: Minimal.
Parking: Nearly everyone includes this as part of a longer ride, but I have used it for intervals which could prompt someone to park at the start of the climb - parking across Highway 1 from climb start - Map; Street View.
Provisions: There is a market and several locations to get food and beverages In Bodega Bay three miles south, and in Occidental 17 miles east.
