Not quite camping, but a beautiful ride
My buddy, Simon, and I did a nice ride on our Xtracycles on Tuesday, December 22nd. We started out at the bottom of Gibraltar Road in Santa Barbara, up Gibraltar, along East Camino Cielo, and down Painted Cave and Old San Marcos Rds. The Xtracycles climbed great, and carried along our food, water, beer, and extra cloths.
It was pretty amazing to see up close how much acreage has burned over the last couple of years. Still beautiful area, and wonderful views of the city and the valley. Looking forward to this ride becoming a tradition. We have named it the Sheaf Ride, after Sheaf Stout beer. I say more riders next year! :)
Here are some pics of the ride:
