UnPredict Your Wednesday – Santa Barbara to Topanga
After the shop closed on Tuesday, we headed to the Amtrack station with our bikes and train tickets in Chatsworth for a trip up to Santa Barbara. After arriving around 10 PM, we rode down for an hour and made it to Carpenteria and camped. After meeting up the Nick for coffee, we headed back to Topanga. Terrific weather and light winds equaled a great day for riding. Carrie met us at Neptune’s Net for our final stop and lunch. We made it back before dark and considered the whole thing a total success.
We rode down the coast and here is Aaron entering the bike path in Ventura
We took the 8 PM train from Chatsworth and arrived in Santa Barbara about 10 PM for roughly an hour ride down to Carpenteria.
We stopped at El Big Burrito on our way to the Chatsworth train station.
We stayed at the Carpenteria State Beach Bike and Hike Camping spot. It is $10 per person.
Chris rode his Surly World Troller. It was his first ride on the road since Route 66
Amtrak up to Santa Barbara. We made reservations for our bikes and they knew who we were when we got on the train..
The weather was very nice for our adventure in early December for a ride down the coast. Mostly in the 60s. A little chilly, but OK.
Nick is da man. He met up with us in Carpenteria for coffee in the morning. Every trip is made better with a visit from Nick.
We had another terrific start to our day at Lucky Llama Coffee in Carpenteria before we headed down the Pacific Coast.

We met up with Carrie at Neptune’s Net for lunch.
We rode down the PCH..
Mukluk and Fun…..
Sometimes thing work out for a reason and this was one of those times. Nancy and Micheal traveled a bit to get their Salsa Mukluks from us and even picked them up in the dark to make everything timely. We are stoked for their bikes and even more stoked to work on a project with them. Stay tuned. It will take us months. Who knows how the universe works? Great stuff.

UnPredict Your Wednesday
Chris and Ryan (NuNu from the Hollywood days) went to Big Bear for UnPredict Your Wednesday. It was Ryan’s first time bikepacking and just escaping to UnPredict a night. Super success. They camped in the middle of nowhere after riding into the forest. Spending the day on the Big Bear Skyline trail was as spectacular as always.
