  • Stride by the Tide: Coastal Walks

    • March 31, 2026
    • February 25, 2027
    • 96 sessions
    • Hendry's Beach 2981 Cliff Dr (next to the entrance of The Boathouse restaurant) Santa Barbara, CA, 93109

    Join fellow walkers at Hendry's Beach (aka Arroyo Burro Beach County Park) every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 8:40 to walk the beach, visit, make new friends and catch up with old friends, spot whales and dolphins, and get fresh air and exercise. We'll meet at the top of the stairs down to the beach, between The Boathouse restaurant and the lifeguard stand.

    Some of us walk fast, and some of us stroll. We suggest wearing appropriate shoes to walk on the beach or up to the nearby Douglas Preserve, when the tide is high.

    After the walk, we will often gather at the picnic tables near our starting point, and share a snack and conversation. Hope to see you there!

  • Cycling: Special Edition - Lake Casitas for the Road Warriors

    • July 26, 2026
    • 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM
    • Dolphin Fountain, Stearns Wharf, Santa Barbara



    To the Lake!

    (The June 7th version of this ride was canceled, and the ride moved to July 26th instead).

    This Special Edition of the SBNC rides is a long one and a hat tip to the mileage junkies that don't mind spending a full day in the saddle. We'll start in SB, roll past the polo fields and take Foothill Rd to highway 150 and finally Lake Casitas where we stop for a round of carb loading and lake views at Marina Cafe (mile 28).

    With the climbs behind us, the second part of the ride brings us back to the coast via Ventura before ending the trip with a stunning coastal stretch into SB.

    It's a hard ride, so a better fit for experienced riders. E-bikes are welcome if your battery can handle the 70 miles. Note that we'll start a little earlier than usual, 8 am, to beat some of the 150 weekend traffic.

    Hydration: With the current heat, we recommend two water bottles.  We'll stop at both the Marina Cafe at the lake and at a Starbucks in Ventura where we can refill.

    Let's meet at Third Window directly after the ride for smash burger, a beverage or why not both.


    Distance: 70 miles
    Elevation gain: 3298 feet
    Estimated total time: ~6-7 hours

    Activity Level: Hard

    When: Sunday July 26th at 8 am

    Start: Dolphin Fountain

    End: Third Window Brewing

    Several Water Crossings!

    Rattlesnake Canyon Trail. We will hike the beautiful Rattlesnake Canyon trail on Friday.  This is one of Santa Barbara's most popular trails.  (The Rattlesnake Trail is named for its curves, not creatures).

A more strenuous option continuing to Gibraltar Rd. from the meadow area is possible (if open) for those who wish.  The main group will hike the familiar trail to and from the meadow.  This is an out and back hike - go at your own pace and turn back anytime.

    Bring hiking poles to help with stream crossings.

    Hiking Distance:  3.0 miles out and back to the meadow with an elevation  gain of 1000 '.For those going up to Gibraltar Rd.  it is 4.5 miles out and back with a total with 1600' of elevation gain.

    Hiking times: 2-2.5 hours  (go at your own pace).

  • Happy Hikers: Parma Park

    • August 07, 2026
    • 8:30 AM
    • Parma Park Main Entrance

    Parma Park Hike

    Parma Park was owned by the Parma family from the 1800s until it was gifted to the city of Santa Barbara in 1973. You can still see remains of the olive grove planted by the Parma's in the 1890s. Parma Park offers panoramic views of the Cielito neighborhood and all the way down to the ocean. An olive grove left by the land’s former owners, the Parma family, is recovering nicely after devastating fire damage from the Tea Fire of 2008. This week we will explore Parma Park with two hikes on Friday morning. Our total hike is approximately 4 miles with 750 elevation gain and considered moderate. The terrain is modulated with reasonably challenging ups and downs. We will start with a loop on the fire road for about 2.5 miles and finish with an out/back to West Mountain Rd of 1.5 miles.

    We will meet at the main entrance to the park at the intersection of 192 (Stanwood Rd) and Parma Rd.

    Here is a map of our hike:

    Here is a link to our meeting point at the Parma Park gate located at the intersection of 192 (Stanwood Dr) and Parma Rd. Parma Rd. Entrance .  There is parking at the gate and along 192.
