Enjoy the cooler weather and coastal views! We start near Padaro Beach Grill in Carpinteria and head up Padaro Lane into Summerland. Then proceed up the coast into Montecito enjoying the beautiful views of Butterfly Beach (home of Four Seasons Resort Biltmore) and onto the bike paths next to the Santa Barbara waterfront.
