Ventura Harbor to Santa Barbara Bike Ride Up the Rincon Coast [in 4k]

Filmed in April of 2023, this ride in the beautiful Central Coast of California starts at the visitor center for the Channel Islands National Park in Ventura Harbor and winds it's way up the coast to Santa Barbara, known as the "American Riveira".

Along the way it takes in views of the Ventura Beach Bike Path, The trail through Emma Wood State Beach, the old coastal highway up the Rincon coast and parts of Carpinteria, ending along the beach and up a pedestrianized section of State Street in Santa Barbara.

Footage is light after Carpinteria unfortunately, as my Go Pro died and I had to film on my iPhone. Sounds like an opportunity to re-film this one in 2024 possibly.
