That's a great "get away" trip! Great photos too! If anyone here on the list is interested in doing this ride, I am planning on riding from San Francisco to Santa Barbara or Ventura the last week of July, and I'd love to have company for all of, or even just a portion of the ride. I'll be riding my Atlantis and most likely be camping every night, but I'm easily swayed ;) -Andy
