Typically chilly in the morning, especially in the redwoods. 40s or even 30s overnight. Warming up quickly into the 50s or 60s.
Always a chance of rain in December, especially near the Russian River. It can rain
very hard. Santa Rosa averages 13 days of rain in December.

I don't think the fire will affect any services. The number of structures destroyed has been minimal.

I've ridden this section many times. Some portions don't have much shoulder, but I've never had an issue with overtaking vehicles. If you hold an assertive position on the road, a couple feet inside the fog line, vehicles tend to pass safely instead of trying to squeeze by.
FYI, here's my route for the section between point
Reyes Station and Sausalito, via Ridgecrest Road. On a clear day, the views on this route are grand.
