This post is little more than a blatant plug for our California Riviera self-guided vacation. This photo was taken a few years ago along Mountain Drive with its stunning views of the ....California Riviera! This cute mailbox is still there and still gets a double-take from tourists enjoying this great ride. Today's ride was warm enough to enjoy cycling in just shorts and short sleeves -- this time of year is truly the best time to visit the Santa Barbara area...it's no secret many pro teams do some early season training here and inland in the Santa Ynez hills. If a winter break is on your "we need to do" list, you'd have a tough time finding a better place for it...take it from us....we spend 2-3 weeks here ourselves in December/January.
