Some images of the Condor Run along Hwy 33, Maricopa Hwy

A nice outdoor restaurant in Solvang for lunch

Fresco Valley Cafe

This run will be excellent. Through mountain passes and terrain we don't see very often, Route is as follows:

Meet at Coffee Bean West on the South Westlake Blvd Exit, the left over the 101 bridge about 2 blocks to the Chevron Gas Station.  Parking is on the south lot of the Gas Station. A Light breakfast can be purchased at Coffee Bean.

Coffee Bean Address
968 S Westlake Blvd
Westlake Village, Ca

8:30 AM head north on 101 to Ojai exit.  We travel to Ojai and the join Hwy 33.  There is an intersection and gas station we can pull over on to regroup.  Once regrouped, we head north on 33, Mariopsa Hwy.  There will be a stop about 2/3rds up the road to again regroup.  The terrain changes for the last 1/3rd of the run.  Viper lead driver will stop at Santa Barbara Pistachio farm outlet just before Hwy 166. This will allow everyone to catch up and regroup.

We then turn left on 166, the Cayucas Hwy, for a great scenic drive towards the coast.  We will need to pull over at the Tespesquet Rd Exit and regroup.  Tespesquet Rd is an excellent winding road heading towards Foxen Canyon.  Fess Parker Winery is at the west end of Foxen Canyon. A stop there is at your choice.  We then head towards Hwy 154 into Los Olivos and into Solvang.

Lunch is on your own in Solvang. Many restaurants on the Main shopping area of town.

Remember to bring radios.  Channel 7, sub-channel 21.  We can do a radio check in West Lake Village. Lance has some issues so he will not have an early start but will meet us in Solvang in the afternoon.

Look  forward to seeing some Viperae-type people
