Santa Barbara to Montecito Loop

We start at Shalhoob’s in Santa Barbara and head up into the hills making a clockwise journey to Montecito via Mountain Drive. After enjoying those coastal views (If the sun is out!), we ride down towards the coast to Summerland Beach and then take a bike lane into Montecito Coast Village. We use a super-secret trail back to the bike path above Butterfly Beach, which leads us back on Cabrillo Boulevard bike lanes and path to Shalhoobs.
Make sure you bring along a spare inner tube.
