Note: You must register in advance for this ride- registration closes at noon two days before the ride. There is no late registration or day-of-event registration.
This is a Populaire that starts in Ventura and does a counterclockwise loop through the Ojai Valley. The "Double Bump" in the name refers to Highway 150 and Casitas Pass, both of which are beautiful climbs- especially in the winter and spring when everything is green. The final third of the ride is mostly along the coast. (We had originally scheduled this ride for February, but had to cancel it at the last minute because of the landslide on Hwy 150. This road is now passable to bicycles, although you may have to use the pedestrian walkway.)
The start/finish is at a Starbucks. In the same shopping center is Marco's Pizza, so we can enjoy some food with our fellow randos at the finish.
This is a minimally supported ride. Riders are expected to be self-sufficient and obtain their own food and water out on the course (there are several parks and markets on the route). There is no SAG vehicle.
