Thought there might be some who would really like this ride...
That's Alpha Climb the CanYons Ride - my bad on the title spelling
Here's a nice organized ride for someone who wants to do some nice up and down without having to deal with long uphill drags, like Gibraltar Rd. A great way to get to know the many nice side road foothill roads in the Carp/Santa Barbara/Goleta Valley.
70 miles and 6000 ft - eminently doable for anyone who can pace themselves on short climbs - nothing really steep or long... coastal temps, great views, nice...
also a short 30 miler for anyone who just wants to bimble around the valley

these are all regular ride roads for many of us in the valley.
can't speak to the 'support', I just have no idea, best to Q the organizers...
start is just around the corner from me...

Sweet, I might have to do this ride. Practically leaves from my doorstep.
