Moorpark - Santa Rosa - Wildwood - Hill Canyon Loop

NEW DATE - Another grand tour of some of our favorite open spaces and surrounding neighborhoods including Santa Rosa Valley, Wildwood Park, Hill Canyon and the star of the this ride, The Joel McCrea Ranch.

The ranch was the beloved home of legendary film actor Joel McCrea and his wife, actress Frances Dee. On the advice of close friend Will Rogers they established and maintained a working ranch, raising cattle and farming the land -- something to fall back on in case things did not work out in Hollywood.

The main house and other structures are significant works of architect John Byers and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The McCrea family donated a significant portion of the ranch to Conejo Recreation and Park District to preserve its history and allow public access.

Other highlights along the way include Hatley Botanica and the Norwegian Grade

🚵‍♂️The ride will be about 30 miles with about 3.5 miles on wide and hard-packed dirt trails. There will be a couple of bridged creek crossings. Total ascent is appx 1300'
