Solvang Sojourn 2023

October 13-20, 2023

 Join friends from Western Wheelers who will gather in Paso Robles, Solvang, and Santa Barbara to explore riding in this great area of California. We will take advantage of the (usually) mild fall weather to explore the California Central Coast. Rides are appropriate for B through D riders, with several routes offered on most days. E-bikes are welcome on this tour and ideal for the longer climbs, but make sure you have a good understanding of your bike’s capabilities. We’ll enjoy some rolling roads through open country as well as some impressive climbs iconic to the area. Our rides in the Paso Robles area will explore some rural territory that we don’t have time to explore on our regular LDT weekend that visits the area.

 This is primarily a hotel/base camp trip. There are no group fees for this trip. Your expenses will be only for your transportation, accommodations and meals. Happy hours are “pot luck”. Meals are on your own, but riders usually gather in groups at local restaurants. Rides are unsupported - no SAG. Some days have lunch purchase options and water availability, while on others you must carry your food and water.

 There are rides scheduled on each day (8 days), however Monday, 10/16 is a transfer day to Solvang and the ride is a short afternoon jaunt. Participants are always welcome to take a day off or do a different ride than the one scheduled for that day. Some will come for the whole adventure, but many participants join for just part of the trip, coming for 2-4 days.

 All rides are listed on the WWBC online ride schedule. For most of the rides there are several routes, which may have different starting locations. Most rides require driving 10-30 minutes to the start from our hotel! The first ride is 2 hours from Palo Alto on the driving route to Paso Robles. The start for the Gibraltar Road ride is in west Santa Barbara – 45 minutes from Solvang.

 Please REGISTER if you plan to attend. While there is no problem changing your plans or canceling, this will give us a better idea of who is coming and what dates they will be there. WWBC membership is always encouraged, but is not a requirement.
