Cool Breeze 12 from Ventura to Santa Barbara Aug. 19

Great weather and great views, and the ONLY bike ride that serves popsicles, what more can you ask for?

The Cool Breeze routes follow the coast from Ventura to Santa Barbara. Distances include a Mini-Metric (38miles), Metric (60), Century (102) and Double Metric (124). The weather is generally in the low 70's -- you can't ask for better summer cycling weather! There are lots of great rest stops along the way. Except for the Double Metric, these routes are fairly flat to rolling terrain.

The Mini-Metric is a flat coastal route up to Carpinteria and back route, totally flat.
The Metric  Century, and Century, routes follow the coast to Carpinteria, then turn inland through the scenic orchards and flower ranches of East Santa Barbara County. The Metric will loop back through Montecito and on home, while the Century hooks up with the very challenging Double-Metric Century riders who have ridden the Ventura River Bike Trail, over Casitas Pass and Toro Canyon and connecting with the Century Route.
