This scenic loop includes twisty mountain roads with views of Santa Paula and Fillmore, with a coffee stop at the Cactus Patch restaurant in Moorpark.

WEDNESDAY 

Jay Leno's Garage Loop: 138 mi, 2 hours, 45 minutes

For those visiting Jay Leno's hangars at the Burbank Airport, this route passes through Moorpark, Fillmore and Simi Valley in order to offer an alternative to Highway 101 as much as possible more suited to vintage motorcycles.

Malibu Loop Ride: 108 miles, 3 hours

This epic ride down the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu features spectacular coastal views and world-famous canyon rides through the Santa Monica Mountains, including roads up and down the Latigo, Encinal, Decker and Yerba Buena Canyons, all in the directions best-suited to vintage bikes..


THURSDAY

Solvang Loop: 131 miles, 3.25 hours

This ride north travels along the Pacific coast through beautiful, historic Santa Barbara, then turns east on back mountain roads to reach Solvang, a charming Scandinavian-inspired town popular with tourists. The return trip stops at Cold Springs Tavern, which dates back to 1868 when it was a stagecoach stop located in the San Marcos pass above Santa Barbara (opens at 11:30 a.m., Thursday-Sunday). The ride back to Ventura travels along scenic Highway 192.


FRIDAY

Rock Store - Mulholland Drive: 93 miles, 2.5 hours

Starting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, this ride takes PCH to landmark biker bar/seafood restaurant Neptune's Net, then heads up Yerba Buena & Encinal Canyon for a spectacular mountain ride to the world-famous Rock Store on Mulholland Highway. Passing Lake Malibou and Paramount Ranch, we head back up Kanan Dune Road, cut over to Decker Canyon and take back roads through the mountains to Ventura.
