Ride Description

SOLVANG – MOUNTAIN/GILBRALTAR LOOP

  • B/3(1500’)/20
  • C/3(4000’)/33
  • D/5(5400’)/45

We’ll drive down to Santa Barbara today for a loop through the beach/harbor area and Mountain Drive followed by (for those willing) an assault on Gibraltar Road - a California cycling icon! Options for cycling only the Mountain Drive loop, climbing Gibraltar to a great viewpoint, or the full loop through the mountains. Full loop riders will be rewarded with incredible views but must be prepared for steep descents on rough roads! C/D riders should pack a lunch to eat on the summit. All riders pack plenty of snacks and water!
