Day 21 Solvang to Oxnard

 

We had a nice afternoon and evening in Solvang.  The motel had a great pool and we were in early enough to enjoy it.  The Danish theme throughout town was a nice change, too.  Very quaint!  But we're off again, this time headed for Oxnard, some 81 miles away.  The weather is clear with high overcast and a starting temp of 55 or so.  We have a climb about 17 miles out that tops out at about 1900 feet.   

 

 

 

Nah, I wasn't trying to push it over the cliff.  I was just stretching my Achilles!

A couple pics looking down the canyon we just rode up through.

 

 

 

 

After the reaching the summit, we start down on a winding single lane road through the woods. Here's a plaque commemorating the route.   Even saw a few myrtlewood trees

 

Here's Jim contemplating his navel along the Kinevan trail road

Several hairpin turns going down.  Very technical descent

Along the beach south of Santa Barbara is a section called red neck highway or some such.  A couple of miles of motor homes and travel trailers parked on the edge of the highway with their own beachfront.  If that's your cup of tea...

 

We're in about 3 pm with a pizza party coming up for dinner! 

2 Days and 100 miles to go!
