Solvang's Finest Century (November 10, 2007)

Riders experienced the very best of the Santa Ynez valley and points beyond. This figure eight style course starts with a tour of Solvang, Los Olivos, Ballard and Santa Ynez, and then heads up the well-known Foxen Canyon and back to Solvang via Zaca Station, Hwy 154 and beautiful Ballard Canyon. Then out Santa Rosa Road to Lompoc, up and over Harris Grade and drop back down to Hwy 135 towards the great little western antique haven of Los Alamos. From Los Alamos, riders encountered the last big climb of the day, up and over Drum Canyon, a quiet, twisty, 800 foot, 3.4 mile ascent, and Hwy 246 back into Solvang. Order Pictures
