Morning paved terrain.
This introductory ride will take north through Ventura County and beyond for a day of long sweeping mountain road curves, en route to some of the north Los Padres' more manageable unpaved – and, well... pseudo-paved – roads. This ride is considerably longer than the July ride, and the level of technical challenge is about the same.


Enticing signage.
Although experienced riders can change the level of challenge of any ride with a slight movement of the wrist, the route for this ride has been chosen to be within the abilities of riders with no off-pavement experience. Whatever your level of ability, we are in for some beautiful scenery.

Our lunch stop locale will be in the middle of nowhere. We have arranged the option of a pre-packaged gourmet lunch prepared for you by The Main Course. What BMW is to adventure bikes, this menu is to brown-bagging:


Chicken Caprese
free range herbed chicken, caesar dressing, lettuce, tomato, and basil.
~or ~
BLTA
Apple-wood smoked bacon, local lettuce, sun-dried tomatoes, avocado, and herbed mayo.
~or ~
Roasted Turkey Sandwich
House Roasted Turkey, roasted red peppers, red onion marmalade &
arugula with herbed mayo.

All sandwiches served on a baguette. All options include a locally grown apple, homemade cookie for desert. Vegetarian / other special diets happily accommodated. If you would like lunch prepared for you, please let us know by 30 July.

Huzzah! Another best-laid plan "gang agley" yet survived all the same.
