Bike overnight near Ventura California

[Curtis McKenzie]

I will be in Ventura next week for about 36 hours. Will be taking the bike with plans to camp somewhere.  Any ideas would be most helpful.  Thanks.

Ride safe,

Curtis

Curtis, to the north there are hiker-biker sites at Carpinteria, El Capitan and Refugio State Beaches.  

and for a nice sunset moment, Island Brewing has a tasting room adjacent to the  Carpinteria Campground off Lindley.

Inland you could go up past Ojai to Wheeler Gorge.

How close to Ventura should the campsite be?

I will need to be in Ventura by 1 pm the following day.

Mike, I like the beer and sunset theme.

If you need to be back by 1, then El Capitan & Refugio are a bit far.  Refugio is 60 miles & El Cap only a bit closer.  Carpinteria is a great location, the state park is right on the beach, around 20 miles north.  Not familiar with Wheeler Gorge but Ojai is only about 15 miles inland from Ventura.

Curtis, you could ride up to Ojai and over Casitas Pass on the 1st day. About 34 miles and includes a nice bike trail in route to Ojai.  You can go further up Hwy 150 into Summerland if you want a longer ride and comedown the coast into Carpinteria.

On day two it's an easy ride down the coast ( except a short section on  the shoulder of Hwy 101) down Rincon and a bike trail into Ventura.  That section will take less than 2 hours.

Mike,  the Ojai route sounds great.  Seems as if one could do a loop with your route.

I've done it many times.  We often went up into the hills of Montecito and came out in downtown Santa Barbara.   A number of times from Santa Paula too.

It was a nice escape from the heat of Santa Clarita in the summer.

There is also a nice brewpub called Anacapa in downtown Ventura.

Curtis,

Mike is on the money Anacapa is an awesome brewery highly recommend, right in DT Ventura. Sounds like a great time wish I could join in.

Hugh,

Is work getting in the way?

[Hugh Smitham]

I'm off from 27th to the 30th but Thanksgiving is on the 28th and I'm planning on going to my Brothers for that day. I wish I could join you as it's really close and I need to get back out for an overnight and that loop is really nice.

I'm getting ready to post the mid December S240 up Mount Gleason. I figured that would work for you since you mentioned the 7th you'd be busy.

Best,

~Hugh
