[We had originally scheduled the Fillmore Double Bump route for this date, but because of the mudslide on Hwy 150 we have changed to the Views of Anacapa route.]

Views of Anacapa has been a popular brevet from years past.  It could be a little chilly at the start but you'll warm up quickly as you climb into the citrus orchards along Grimes and Balcom Canyon roads.  After the first control, a nice section of rollers on Foothill Road brings you into Ventura.  Around mile 37.7 it's time to get on the the Ventura River Bike Trail section for the next 6.2 miles. The next stop is on Santa Ana Road at the Corner Market.  Refuel and stock up here for the climb over Casitas Pass.  It's a steady climb, just be aware of the double summit!  With the majority of the climbing behind you, it's time to enjoy a nice descent into Carpenteria.  Lunch is an open control in Carpenteria.  The next part of the route should have views of blue skies, surf and sand!  A prevailing tailwind should be part of the fun as you down the coast toward Ventura and then toward Port Hueneme.  Another chance to refuel near Port Hueneme before you enjoy a relatively flat ride to the control near Las Posas Road.  You're on your way home now as you enjoy the gentle grade of Santa Rosa Road back to the start.
