Frolicking in the hills

A new dimension to the awesomeness of the beach this year.........., riding moto's in the mountains above Carpinteria.  My cousin Robin's husband Diego came up from L.A. and we took a few hour ride up through Monticeto, on to Goleta, up San Marcos Pass, out the Camino Cielo, the down Gibraltor back into Carp.  It was kick ass. 

Uncle Pete showing us the route.
Diego and his trusty steed high above Santa Barbara with the Channel Islands in the background.
SB has some of the sweetest, turny, two lane roads with little to no traffic.  Road riding paradise.
On top of the Cielo looking down into the Santa Ynez valley. 
It was really cool to get a totally different perspective on being at the beach than.....well, being at the beach!  It's easy to forget this area has big, rugged, amazing mountains just minutes away from the ocean.  

Good times Diego!
