CVC Santa Barbara Ride-ALTERNATE ROUTE!!!!
by Cameron Young 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hi all, UC Santa Barbara is having commencement ceremonies tomorrow starting at 9am and continuing all day. Because riding through and around the campus is so ill advised, the route has been altered to stay clear of Isla Vista and the campus. The rest of the route stays the same. Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5021591 Please print out a new route slip and/or download this current version of tomorrow's ride. Start time is 9am, and should be a beautiful day for riding. Hope to see you all there! Cam CVC Ride Director
