Sycamore Canyon Mixed Surface Gravel Ride - Point Mugu State Park
When I was in Ventura County in the Spring of 2023 I did a great ride through Point Mugu State Park that I regretted not filming. While back there this spring I made sure to film it. You can ride from Newbury Park to the beach at Sycamore Cove, which was my plan, but debris and high water from winter rains changed the plans. It is still a beautiful sunny spring ride though the natural terrain of coastal California, and leaves room to shoot another video of the beach section! Hope you enjoy!

Santa Barbara to Ventura full bike ride
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.4 месяца назад
Ever since I posted a video last year of my May 2023 ride from Ventura north to Santa Barbara I have wanted to make a better version of it. I had battery issues and once I reached Carpinteria I only was also to include a few clips shot on my iPhone, and the section through Summerland, Montecito and into Santa Barbara is some of the most scenic of the entire ride. This year, I travelled back to ...
Sandy River Greenway Trail Extensions in Troutdale
Просмотров 1055 месяцев назад
I drove out to Troutdale, OR to do a mixed-surface ride and check out new paved extensions to the Sandy River Greenway Trail/40 Mile Loop, now also named as the Ch'ak Ch'ak Trail (a native Chinuk Wawa term for Bald Eagle). This enables a smooth, car free way to get from Blue Lake Park to the Interstate 84 crossing of the Sandy River, removing the need to ride on busy arterial roads like Marine ...

Fort William, Scotland - Gravel Bike Ride along Caledonian Canal to Loch Lochy and Back
Просмотров 22610 месяцев назад
The second ride I filmed while in the Fort William Scotland area. I first rode from Fort William through Inverlochy and Caol to the southern end of the Caledonian Canal at Corpach where the last sea locks lead into salt water Loch Linnhe. Then I followed the canal path up to the shores of Loch Lochy in the Great Glen. I shot most of the footage on the return leg, stopping at the Gairlochy Locks...
Scotland Bike Ride Along Loch Linnhe - Camusnagaul to Ardgour and back

The weather in the highlands was great for over a week when I visited last year, So I rented a Trek gravel bike from Nevis Cycles in Fort William (Inverlochy) for a couple days. I did this ride on the quiet A861 road down the west side of Loch Linnhe to Ardgour where there is a car ferry to Corran is. The route is part of the much longer Caledonian Way from Campbeltown, through Oban and Fort Wi...

South Hillsboro bike ride - Reed's Crossing & Rosedale Parks
Great video! I love that you captured a snippet of the VC Fairgrounds during the Skull & Roses Festival. I was there, camped out in the parking lot w/ the other Deadheads, for what turned out to be the last year of this great festival. So sad but I am blessed to live in Ventura. And I’m hoping to ride my bike up to Carpinteria or maybe even Santa Barbara one of these days. So thank you for this wonderful footage! 🤗
Bring your earplugs for the stretches along the 101 freeway.
Glad you liked that route. It's pretty cool huh? I ride with Bill's Bike Shop on Saturday's and Sunday's in Camarillo if you ever want to join.
Yeah, it was cool! Thanks for the invite, I might check it next time I'm down there.
Thanks 😊 very nice 👍 😎😊🙂 👌
That Rincon bike path is SUCH a dream, top shelf SoCal cycling!
Thank you , beautiful ride ❤
Do you have the strava or gpx file for this route?
Hi Bryan, I made a cleaned up version of it here where you can send it to your device, or download it in multiple formats. It includes the stop at Carpinteria Beach and at the end of Seaward St, in Ventura. ridewithgps.com/routes/48628149
@@jharris-pdxrides great thanks! Keep up the great videos
@jharris-pdxrides Jason, do you know if there are plans to extend the Rincon path to include the section that now requires the rider to enter the freeway at Bates road? Also, how do you learn about future trail extension plans (such as this one.), in general? Would I usually need to inquire with the municipalities' transportation department, or ?
Yep, there are well developed plans to extend the trail between the end of Carpinteria Ave and the current start of the trail at Bates road. This would bypass both the Bates/Rincon Hill climb route and the freeway ramps route. I do not know if an alternative has been decided on yet, or if it has received funding/construction plan. But here it is on the City of Carpinteria website: tinyurl.com/yd9hz7ua Generally the county/city websites planning or transportations office pages are the best place to search for planning docs. I think I found the one above just Googling it.
@@jharris-pdxrides Great thanks Jason for the feedback. Good to know. Your videos are helpful to me for locating safe riding in the SoCal area. - Bill
Terrific ride, thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wonder if you'll film the new bridge on Cornelius Pass Road. The bridge goes between Reed's Crossing and Butternut Creek. Also 209th Avenue finally has 5 lanes of traffic and the intersection at TV Highway got upgraded with new equipment.
Yes, I will be doing a South Hillsboro update video this fall as a follow up to the video from this spring. I shot some footage already of the bridge and 209th recently just before being opened that I will include.
Thanks Jason for sharing the ride. And thanks for taking the time to edit and add the helpful text comments and directions. I was not aware of several of the detours that you take. I enjoyed the ride! - Bill, Oro Valley, AZ
My pleasure Bill, thanks for watching!
17:54 - was that an airplane on the rocks?
🤔 Looks like some kind of irrigation pump. There's a pipe at the back leading down into Calleguas Creek bed.
I grew up in Hillsboro in the 80’s, I feel like all I’ve seen is development of my hometown. Nice video and commentary.
total miles roundtrip?
Just over 30 miles each way. So, about 62-65 miles RT depending on if you choose from the several slightly different options through Montecito and Carpinteria.
Thank You for the Update
I live in Carpinteria and have been biking this area for the past 4 decades. It was great to view it from the camera’s perspective and not worry when going past driveways and such. In all that time, I’ve only had about a half-dozen close calls and all but 2 were caused by clueless pick-up truck drivers. (The other 2 were due to elderly tourists driving big rented motorhomes.) Thanks for an enjoyable video !
Subbed. Thank you for this. Thousand Oaks will always be home.
Great job and thanks!!! I'm headed up there in about 2 hours to ride from Ventura Harbor to Rincon and back. HOW FUN!! You really did a great job on this, loved it!!
Awesome, hope you have/had a great ride!
@@jharris-pdxrides Thanks Jason, its now officially "had" as we just got home. Your video was so spot-on and I'm stoked we found it.... My wife and I are in our mid 60's and I used to windsurf/kiteboard C-street but we never thought about riding the path until we saw your film! Stayed at Pierpont Inn as we have before, and made it to Rincon and back before sunset. SO MUCH FUN! That coastline is raw and pristine like San Onofre where we also ride. We are on 2000w scooters, but we got mad-respect for all the bicyclers riding into that wind!! Thanks again for the inspiration, we are going to come back in a few weeks and do it again! Happy rides, Jason! Kai.
That sounds really cool! Glad you liked the video but even better had a great sounding trip, cheers!
Beautiful ride! I grew up in Ventura (I lived there until 1993), and I never took the train from there to anywhere. Granted, when we camped along the Rincon, we'd see/hear them go by, which was fun! I like your occasional commentary and the comments on the video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! It was my first time on a train in CA. and was a great way to shuttle the bikes.
I really love the video. Thank you very much, but I'm gonna tell you something. You need to be careful even if it's just a 1/2 mile on that freeway at 1 hour and 50 minutes extremely extremely. Yes, you heard me say that several times very dangerous. I've heard of people getting rear-ended at 70 or 80 miles an hour, and on a bicycle. You're gonna meet the stars real quick. Please don't do that next time you can go around that section. I thought you guys already knew that. Anyway, great video and the pickup truck guy in the white truck was an absolute idiot😊
Hey everyone, thank you so much for all the views and likes on this one! Just a note that I have re-filmed this video this spring as 1 continuous full ride, but this time from Santa Barbara back down to Ventura. It also includes a prologue section like this video from Ventura Harbor to the Ventura Amtrak station, where I took my bike on the train to start the ride headed south. Here's the new video: ruclips.net/video/xcgNNjJxQWg/видео.html
Great video!...leave your subtitles up a little longer so people can read them...thanks...
Thanks, Will try to leave them up for a bit longer in the future
I have to say this is the best video on the Rincon Bike Trail compared to the others on youtube. Ive been on it when I rode from San Francisco to Orange County but needed to refresh my memories because I would like to take a friend to a section of it.
Thanks! I hope you have time to check out the updated video just posted.
Would you recommend an ebike for this route or would a gravel bike work out just fine?
The gravel/dirt sections are pretty tame, though there is some loose sand and gravel in spots. The recorded ride was done on a gravel bike with 38mm Specialized Pathfinder Pro tires. It is virtually flat, so an ebike is a nice option but not needed for any tough sections FYI.
Thanks for sharing your rides Jason. Scenic and fun route to Magu. I lived in SoCal for 30 years, moved out of state. now trying to make it back somehow, but it ain't gettin' any cheaper! Appreciate your maps and the details in your editing. How does your riding in SoCal differ from your riding in Oregon? - Bill
what kind of bike were you riding?
Gravel style road bike with handlebar combo GoPro mount for filming
Hi Jason, I enjoyed this South Hillsboro update and watched the whole thing. Since I live in Hillsboro and have ridden in that area I found your commentary interesting and informative. I live right near the south end of Jackson School Road so found that video interesting also. If you are interested I would be open to meeting for coffee sometime. Take care and I will watch your feed for further videos. John
I don’t know, a couple stretches looked kinda sketchy near hobo jungle. I’m not trying to get jumped 😂
I didn't really notice any encampments last year for this video or again this spring, and there were lots of other cyclists and walkers the entire way. Everyone has their own comfort level though.
great ride - Jason = i am going to try that ride soon. I am in Camarillo so this is very close to me to start off from.,
Thanks! I have a full ride video from SB back to Ventura that I shot this Spring that I'll be editing and posting soon.
Hi Jason, I just stumbled upon your channel here when looking for bike commentary on South Hilsboro. Was nice to see this ride you did right by my house. I live on NE 6th near Grant, only a block from the new bike/pedestrian infrastructure on Jackson School Road. I have lived here since September of 1989 so know the area well. I am also on the board of directors at WashCo Bikes and chair the Advocacy Committee. Would love to meet up for coffee sometime and talk all things bike and especially infrastructure.

Great ride Videos. Love the off-road exploring side trips. Cma to magu is a new loop idea. Gonna give it a try.
New sub
Welcome!
Awesome quality!
Hi Jason, this is Tricia. congratulations on your RUclips channel! 🎉😊 very nice views! Keep it up!
Nice 👍
thanks for the post. Formerly of Camarillo, now living in Portland Oregon. This gives me a beautiful flashback.
So its a gravel trail once you hit Carpinteria
Hi Josia, The gravel/dirt sections along Capinteria Bluffs Park and Tar Pits Park are an off-road alternative. The paved route is just to take Carpinteria Ave. all the way through town to Via Real.
what a beautiful ride. I use to live in Carpinteria, they didn't have those routs when I Was living there. :) Hope anytime soon I'll go t carpas, and bring my road bike with me so I can take a small ride maybe from Carpinteria to la conchita. Nice videos.
Thanks! I’m hoping to get down there this spring and film more.
Beautiful scenery ❤ Happy riding❤🎉
