Yesterday l rode my bicycle from Ventura to Santa Barbara. 37ish miles with a mix of beach side bike paths, access roads, commercial streets, residential roads, and some dirt trails. I went through rich neighborhoods, transient hangouts, nature reserves, surfer parking lots, strawberry fields, and horse ranches. I even carried my bike over the Surfliner tracks at one point.

It was an interesting ride! Not the usual fitness grind. I discovered a lot of areas that I see from the freeway usually. Finding my way was a bit complicated though. Lots of stops to look at a map.
