Hello all!
I'm flying into Santa Barbara soon for a ride up the California coast, but I want to visit family in the Santa Ynez Valley on my way. I live in DC, but I grew up in Santa Ynez and remember the drive from Santa Barbara well. That was before my cycling days and the roads I remember were not roads I would want to bike, i.e. - 154 and the San Marcos Pass.
A web search turned up these;
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path...-Santa-Barbara
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united...bara/118596393
Both are similar, though not identical, in that they avoid a bit of the pass in different spots. What I'm looking for is a local cyclist to either put my mind at ease or advise me on some other route.
Thanks!
Sean
