This is a fairly flat 200k route that begins in Moorpark. The only significant climb is the slog back up to Moorpark on Santa Rosa Rd at the end. (But the good news is that there is typically a tailwind here.) The route is an out-and-back up to Padaro Beach, between Carpinteria and Summerland. Since most of the route is near the coast, the temperatures should be nice, even on a September afternoon. A good place for lunch is Carpinteria on the way back. The Garden Market on Santa Claus lane at mile 66 is a popular spot with local cyclists.
This is a minimally supported ride. Riders are responsible for obtaining their own food and water on the course. There will be snacks and cold drinks at the Joneses' house at the end of the ride. There is no SAG vehicle.
