The Timbers Restaurant is the destination / termination point for this ride.

After the pre-ride briefing we will leave the parking lot and head to the traffic light on E. Clark Avenue.  I will wait for the light to change to green and we will make a right turn and head towards the on ramp going South on Highway 101 Freeway. Once on the freeway we will stay until we come to the Highway 154 exit which we will take.  We will make a left turn at the stop sign and we will stay on Highway 154 and head towards Los Olivos.  We will turn right off of Highway 154 onto Ballard Canyon Road and go into single file formation as we travel past several vineyards, encounter some twisties (stay to the right in your lane) as well as elevation changes.  When we come to the next stop sign we will turn left onto Chalk Hill Road and this turns into Atterdag Road   We will be headed into Solvang the back way and stopping at the traffic light at Highway 246 and we will turn left onto Highway 246 and head east traveling through Santa Ynez and to the Highway 154 roundabout where we will stay to the right and head south.  This will take us towards Santa Barbara.

We will then turn left onto Stagecoach Road and we will get into single file formation once again.   We will need to watch for possible wildlife so stay alert.  Coming to a stop sign we will continue on straight across and go under the Highway 154 Bridge and we will travel through Cold Spring Tavern.  We will need to watch for traffic and pedestrians as we pass the restaurant.  Once on top of the hill we will come back to Highway 154 and at the stop sign we will turn right being careful of oncoming traffic to our left.   We will  be going through some nice twists and turns before we take the Cathedral Oaks Road exit on the right.   We will make a right turn at the stop sign and this is a nice piece of road except later there will be 8 traffic lights and 2 stop signs.  At the last stop sign which is close to the freeway we will make a left and head over to the Timbers Restaurant.   Parking should not be a problem but parts of the parking lot are a little rough. Approx. 70 miles.

The Timbers is where we will be saying our goodbyes.  You can leave early or travel in a group back on the 101 freeway headed towards Santa Maria.
