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.
