Hi CVC'ers:
 
NOTICE: I've slightly modified the Away Ride route to make it a little less traffic, more interesting scenery
and a couple miles less distance - see RWGPS map link below**...
(Thanks to CVC member, experienced rider, former SB Co. resident, Richard F.)  

Weather Forecast: Looks like we will have great weather again this year.
P.S.: I'd suggest bringing extra tubes (due to goathead season)
There is a rest stop & grocery store ( Los Alamos) at approx. mile 40.
   - or maybe other places ( as needed) 

Saturday, October 12th Away Ride is:
 Buellton-Los Alivos-Foxen Canyon-Ballard Canyon-Solvang-Buellton
 9:00am start time in Buellton
    # 101 Frwy North: Buellton exit : Route # 246 
        turn Right (going East) on route # 246 : immediate shopping center parking lot on right
 
** Here is the GWGPS ride route: 
      66.3 miles 4,209' climbing (RWGPS usually overstates climbing feet by 10-15%)

Last year we had a good turnout of CVC club riders
and were very fortunate to have excellent weather
and a nice after-ride group lunch.
 
Plan ahead with carpools & schedules to allow for a substantial part of the day
to treat yourself for a nice Autumn ride in the Central Coast Wine Country and a nice group lunch.
