Beginner Tour
This recreational ride is perfect for beginners and families. Cycle along coastal bluffs and ride through a beautiful preserve filled with rolling meadows and eucalyptus groves. The ride is relatively flat with small hills.

Intermediate Tour
Intermediate-level riders will love this bike ride, which takes you up a hill roughly 150 feet (approximately 46 meters) in elevation. From the top, admire sweeping 360-degree views of Santa Barbara, including the American Riviera, the Pacific Ocean and even the Channel Islands on a clear day.
