See the Beauty of Santa Barbara County on Two Wheels

With miles of undulating trails that wind through the mountains and along streams, the Santa Ynez Valley is a biking paradise. The Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort offers bike rentals by the day, as well as guided cycling tours. Whether with a group or solo, your guide will take you through our challenging yet scenic routes. If you like, we can pack lunches so you can explore the lush beauty of these routes on your own.

Stop by our Ranch Concierge to pick up maps of our recommended biking routes for beginner through advanced cyclists. Examples of routes include a 32-mile trip up Figueroa Mountain Road that climbs to an elevation of 3,200 feet—the same route a few world-renowned cyclists have taken while doing Tour de France training. Or follow the route of one of the Amgen Tour’s time trials—a 13-mile loop with lots of rolling hills along the way.
