BEAT THE HEAT! 2026 - SMM Canyons & Oxnard Shores Ride (125cc+ RECOMMENDED)

It's starting to get hot. Plain and simple.
Quite honestly, most of our normal routes would be miserable to ride right now. So this time of year, we pull out our "Beat the Heat" rides. Names like Zuma, Malibu, and Palisades/Santa Monica Mountains creep into these ride descriptions.

One of our favorites is Ventura/Oxnard, and it has been a great ride each time the group has made a visit over the last few years to the area, so how about we do it again!

Meet, Greet, and Mingle @ 8:30 - 9 AM -> KSU @ ~9:15 AM-ish

We will gather at one of our usual start-up points, Vons at PCH and Sunset. From there, we'll head up the coast(PCH) and turn NORTH onto Topanga Canyon Blvd. From there, we will twist and turn our way through the Santa Monica Mountains over to the Rock Store for a short stretch break. After this short stop, we will continue to the West, out towards the ocean, keeping it as much COASTAL as we can...
Upon arriving in the Oxnard area, you'll have almost two hours to find/eat lunch, peruse the many shops, take in the scenery, and perhaps grab an ice cream. If you've never been, Harbor Village is a must-see destination in SoCal.

After we've all been fed, shopped, treated, and otherwise satisfied, we're just likely gonna make it an easy-paced/lazy ride home along PCH to Kanan or perhaps Portrero Rd and Mulholland back through the Hills.

But feel free to make your way home as you see fit after lunch. We're just adding this in for anyone who may not be familiar with the way home.

Except for parts of Mulholland, this is a really easy-going ride available to all riders and all skill levels. However, we will be riding at speeds of 55 mph at times, so it is most appropriate for 125cc+ machines.

(Note - The route shows the ride ends in Oxnard, but we may lead the ride back towards PCH/SFV, depending on the participants of the day... However, we will likely be dispersing well before returning to the start location...)

Restrictions & Advisements: We will be cruising at 55 MPH in many areas, which limits the ride to 125cc+ scooters. This route is suitable for all riders.

Please only RSVP +1 for additional riders, not passengers.

Please show up with a full gas tank, as always, and a scooter in good running condition. :)

PS - The ride from start to lunch is approximately 75-80 miles...
