Reaching the Leggett Section. I've posted a zillion pics of this 22-mile stretch if you follow my stuff.
One of the topics we love to talk about in any Safety Brief with riders on a Pashnit Motorcycle Tour are decreasing radius corners. These are corners that seem at first to have an easy entry, but as the rider enters a corner that appears to have a smooth arc, the radius begins to decrease once you’re committed to your line. We say these corners are ‘tightening up’. Hwy 1 has an endless list of decreasing radius corners, both lefts and rights. The Leggett Section has many, many of these decreasing radius turns and setting the proper line as you enter the corner is super important.
Every time we ride the Leggett Section, it's a mandatory break at the end. Bikers are often parked there at the end doing the same thing.
