Hello all!

I live up in Berkeley but will be visiting Santa Barbara this coming weekend (Feb. 24th-25th).  I will be bringing my bike and would love to have:

  1. good road ride suggestions
  2. fun people to ride with
  3. all of the above

Anybody?

Hi Marian!
We will probably roll out and watch the race  come through on Saturday.  You are welcome to join us.  We'll ride about an hour and a half out of town and watch them come over the climbs (unless it's pouring, which it may well be.)  Probably around 8.00 or 8.30.  On Sunday, we'll definitely do some bike riding.  Whatcha have in mind?  Maybe we can join forces.  I've also posted a thread with some ride maps for SB, since a fair number of people seem to be wanting to visit.  I wanted to visit so much, I've never gotten around to leaving.  :burp:.  We don't have a ton of roads, so it's not hard to avoid getting lost.  Mountains on one side, water on the other.  Simple, it is.  :P There is a 8.00 group ride on saturday and a 9.00 group ride on sunday, both meeting at the SB Roasting Co. on State and Gutierrez.  I'd expect them to be reasonably fast this time of year, though I haven't ridden them lately.  And hmm, how do I say this?  It's just not what I'd call a very Bella vibe ;)
Jen.

So, if it's pouring rain, I'm going to opt out of riding because, well, I'm not looking to build character.

But, if it's not pouring rain, I would love to ride with you on Saturday. 

As for the type of ride I want to do, I don't have a strong preference.  I would prefer to ride 2-4 hours and I would prefer something scenic and inspiring.  It's pretty easy to fufill the scenic and inspiring requirement when you're withing spitting distance of the Pac Ocean, however. 

I don't think I would be able to do a Sunday ride because I am supposed to go whale watching at 830.  I might try to ride after, but it all depends on how long I am out to sea and when I will be needing to hit the road.
