#1 | Santa Barbara trip datum

Tue Nov 03, 2020 4:26 pm

Had to get out of the house and did a tour with Pashnit around the Santa Barbara area. Great roads, with reduced traffic due to covid. The motorcycle museum in Solvang was open, so had a stop there. It was also a tour that had two 1200RS and two 1250RS on it, which is probably 90% of the RS in the state.

Cheers,

I am sorry to have missed you guys. I live in SB and would have loved the rip around the county with some fellow RS guys. Glad you got to visit and enjoy our side of the tracks.

I saw you found your way to Tepusquet Road so I'll assume you got over to Foxen Canyon as well. Did you ride up Figuroa Mountain or get over Hwy 154 to Cold Springs Tavern, East Camino Cielo, Gibraltar Road. and out the other end of SB down to Ojai on Hwy 150 and onto Hwy 33? I hope you hit them all to get the full sense of the riding that surrounds us down here. Hit me up if you get down this way and we'll get out for one or two days of epic riding!

Best,

Chris

Spectacular roads in that part of CA. Foxen can be distracting on account of the winery so my approach has been to do one or the other. Haven't been there since 2010 though- GC
