Alas, I will be up north this weekend.

The must-hit ride in the area (outside doing Big Sur) is Laureles Grade:

between Hwy 68 and Carmel Valley Road (northbound gives a great view of  
the Salinas Valley / ocean going over the ridge).

If you've got 3-4 hrs,

Monterey->Hwy 1->Bixby Bridge->turn around->Carmel Valley Rd->Laureles  
Grade->Monterey

would make a good tour.

Last I checked Pebble Beach/ 17 mi drive didn't let in hooligans unless  
one resides within the gates. Bummer, as it's a great scenic road.

The Monterey Peninsula proper is a much nicer place to cycle than  
strafe, [un]fortunately.
