- Wildlife Cruise from Island Packers at 1:30 pm. (28$ from Ventura)
EDIT
- We drove to Goleta... planning to ride to Buelton (where I am now)... but got a huge gash on the tire, caught a ride with Carl (a nice guy with a big truck)... back to Goleta (after riding 10 miles straight up)... bought a tire, fixed our problem, and drove up to Solvang (the Dutch Capital of the USA)... rode to Buelton... and I'm writing this now. WarmShowers rocks!!!
- Buelton to Solvang up Foxen Ranch Road to Santa Maria down to Lompoc (Terry of Warmshowers is gonna hook us up)
- Lompoc to Solvang (where I ditched the car)... to Graviota (hot springs)... to Kayaking? To Carpenteria State Park.
- 9:30 am...North Shore wildlife tour - Island Packers (9:30 am)
- With Em?
- Drive to LA.
- Hang out with Em? Pat?
- Or to Santa Maria? and stay at a B&B?
- Call? - 805-928-7777 (Historic Santa Maria Inn...)
- Or to Nipomo (Kaleido Scope)
- Or to SLO (805.544.3003 - Bridge Creek Inn)
- El Capitan back to Santa Maria
- Check out a few wineries
- State Beaches
- Check out SLO
- Drive home...
Bike Route option 1 (236 miles? Loop)
Bike Route option 2 (250 miles... many options to turn back...)
Camping at Hiker/Biker sites?
http://www.parks.ca.gov/parkindex/region_info.asp?regiontab=0&id=6
SO... we can drive down to SLO, or Santa Barbara... stay there a night... then ride the tandem down to Santa Monica... (which I've been wanting to check out that area for a while...) Maybe head down to LA to Em's place... etc. and just do a simple loop like 200 miles... or we could just stay in that Santa Barbara region... just wine tasting, staying at the beach, exploring the canyons, etc...
I'd like to do mostly camping... which would mean, we'd either need to reserve... or look for the biker/hiker sites...
