As always we will have multiple routes. Please register for the ride and let us know which route option you intend to ride:

Option 1: For those that are ambitious and want a longer ride (nearly 60 miles round trip), we will begin at the parking lot off Bates Road at 8:30 a.m. and will meet up with the main group in Ventura.

Option 2: A 30 mile roundtrip ride, starts in Ventura. The bike path begins at Rex Street. If you are starting here  drive south on 101 and exit at the Main St, Ventura exit. Park in the parking lot to the right after the bridge, and just before the overpass. If there is no room, go back over the bridge and park on the side of the road. We’ll meet in the parking lot just before the overpass at 9:30 a.m. The riders starting at Bates Road will take about an hour to get to this point, so please don’t start w/o the group.

Option 3: A short 20 mile roundtrip ride which starts at the Casitas Vista exit off Highway 33, heading to Ojai. To start here take 101 South to 33 North towards Ojai. Exit where the highway is ending at Casitas Vista Road (CVR). Turn right upon exiting on CVR, back alongside the highway on CVR and turn right under the Freeway and park under the overpass. There are restrooms close by, in Foster Park. The riders that start in Ventura will be at CVR by 10:00 a.m. and we can head off to Ojai as a group.  If we’re a few minutes late, please wait for us.

From SB, plan on 30 minutes to parking in Ventura and 45 minutes to parking at CVR.

This is a very scenic ride. It’s an easy, continual grade uphill to Ojai, about 3% and in some places 5%.  Not hard at all.  Coming back is all downhill! There are two ways down, either back down the bike path OR on Santa Ana Road with very few cars. You fly!  It’s on the other side of the Ventura River. 

Helmets required.  Have plenty of water with you. Rain postpones.

Hope you can join us!
