Wine Harvest Festival
The Goleta Valley Cycling Club invites you to the 29th Annual People Powered Ride on Sunday, October 12, 2008. The rides tour the scenic Santa Ynez Valley wine country and surrounding hills. All proceeds from this ride are allocated to promote cycling -- mostly locally, but also statewide and nationally. The start/finish is at the beautiful Firestone Meadow near the intersection of Foxen Canyon and Zaca Station roads, four miles north of Los Olivos.
Please Note: Our use of this wonderful facility is due to the generosity of people who are committed to promoting cycling. Along with our club, they are also committed to a clean environment. Let's take great care to leave Firestone Meadow and the surrounding valley cleaner than when we arrived.
