Hi CVC'ers: NOTICE: I've slightly modified the Away Ride route to make it a little less traffic, more interesting sceneryand 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%) http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3494916 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. Jim Doane - CVC
