Coalinga / Harris Ranch Run These are 2 different but nearly the same routes. Both are allot of fun. The Coalinga Run the way Tim and the BAVFR group run it is quite a bit longer. The Harris Ranch Run is much shorter on the return, which is a good thing because you will be so full from lunch at Harris Ranch Coalinga Run A good place to start is at the Chevron Station on Highway 25 and 156 in Hollister. From there go south on Highway 25 to Old Coalinga Road Take Old Coalinga Road until it turns into Los Gatos Road which will turn into Tornado rd. Go right on Oil City Road all the way into Coalinga. Get gas here. Take 198 West and stop at Priest Valley Station for Lunch. Continue on 198 West and go under 101 then make a right on Oasis Road Follow Oasis Road north back to 101. Take 101 north for a few exits and get off at Arroyo Seca Road. Make a right on Carmel Valley Road and follow this road all the way up to Seaside. From Seaside there are many possible routes back to the bay area. My favorite is to go north to Santa Cruz then take Highway 9.
