For November I tried a little different ride with a little over 10 miles of rugged dirt road in the middle. This route climbed up and along the ridge line of the mountains behind Santa Barbara. The climbing in the first 50 miles was almost 9,000 ft but it was flat after returning to the coast. The total distance was only 83 miles but I hope it will count. I had planned on a side-trip to meet someone in S.B. but that was cancelled at the last minute so my mileage suffered. Oh well, what can I say?
