Santa Ynez Valley cycling route maps
Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 9:00AM The friendly folks at The Skyview Motel in Los Alamos posted a good selection of ride routes of varying length and difficulty with cue sheets and elevation profiles. Adapt them to start where it is convenient for you.
Here's an example for a Figueroa Mtn. loop from Los Olivos. A breathtaking 40 miles with a very strenuous 10 mile climb. Click on "View Path in Full" to access the cue sheet.
There are 11 additional routes to view.

The Schnitz put his new frame on the road and sent these photos. The report is the new fillet brazed Spirit frame rides superbly. It's built to accomodate his favorite tire size, 700x25, with an Alpha Q fork painted to match.
Look closely and you'll notice the subtle evidence of the DA Triple crankset. He must be thinking about Figueroa Mtn.
