-THE ROUTES-

Click "HERE" for the information sheet and links to the route maps and profiles. Below are the route slips for each ride.

Routes could change the day of the event. Please get an up  to date route slip when you check in to pick up your number.

Ride options to choose from:

The listed routes are basically the same routes for 2009 with minor modifications as reflected on the route slips.

The Mini-Metric is a flat coastal route up to Carpinteria and back route, totally flat.
The Metric Century and Century routes follow the coast to Carpinteria, then turn inland through the scenic orchards and flower ranches of East Santa Barbara County. The Metric will loop back through Montecito and on home, while the Century hooks up with the very challenging Double-Metric Century riders who have ridden the Ventura River Bike Trail, into East Ojai and  over Casitas Pass and connecting with the Century Route into Goleta.
