Paradise Found
Our family is in town this week for a wedding and the big decisions are always "Where should we stay? and "Where should we ride?"
I say live like a local for a week and enjoy an authentic Downtown Historic Cottage in the heart of Santa Barbara. Paradise Retreats offers guests full immersion into the Santa Barbara lifestyle.
From downtown we recommend the 7-mile Santa Barbara Mission Ride that will wind you past the Santa Barbara Mission, Museum of Natural History and the historic Arlington Theater on State St.
If you prefer elegance and privacy, shoot high with a Riviera Retreat in the sky.
The Riviera Retreat is perfectly positioned for starting an intense 48-mile ride up the famed Gibraltar Road loop.
Give us a shout and we'll deliver road bikes to your vacation rental for free!
