Ojai Valley bike trail

This is one of the best rides we've been on in the area. It's not too challenging, there's lots of shade, and you can complete a one-way leg of the ride in under an hour, which means lots of time for meandering around Ojai (or Ventura, depending on your starting point) before heading back. The views from this ride are stunning: You'll see sweeping vistas of the surrounding mountains, and get a rural feel once the trail breaks away from the railroad tracks and Route 33. Bring lots of water and some cash for lunch, and enjoy!
