Leaving the parking lot and being careful of the oncoming traffic on the left side with the blind curve we will make a right turn and head to the left hand turn lane at the traffic light. We will head to the Highway 101 northbound entrance ramp and travel north to the Highway 166 exit where we will make a right turn at the light. We will stay on Highway166 and we will be making a brief stop at New Cuyama and the Park.  We will take a stretch and use the facilities if needed.

Back on the road again will continue east for a bit and then take Highway 33 exit and head south. For approximately 72 miles on this road, we will be going through different elevations and some twisties.  There is some great scenery along the way.  As we near Ojai the Deer Lodge will be on the right side of the highway. There is parking in the front of the Lodge.

After lunch we will proceed to Ojai to get fuel at the Shell Station on the left.  Leaving the Shell Station parking lot we will watch for cross traffic and head to the traffic light and make a right turn onto Highway 150 which is Baldwin Road and this turns into Casita Pass.   We will be going through some more great scenery, elevation changes and tight twists and turns.  We will continue on Highway 150 until we come to Highway 192 on the right.  This is a quick turn with some elevation to it.  Highway 192 will take us all the way to Highway 154 in Santa Barbara where we will make a right at the stop sign. Highway 154 takes us to the 101 Freeway.  Again, there will be some great scenery along the way with a good view of Lake Cachuma on the right. When we make it to the 101, some riders will make a left going to Lompoc at the roundabout at Highway 246 and the rest of the group will head north towards Santa Maria. That will be the termination for this ride. Most of the ride will be single file so you want to be sure to give the rider in front of you plenty of room (a minimum of 2 seconds).  This is an all day ride.Be sure to sign-up on the website.
