2006 Tour of Green Homes

The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition is teaming up with The Habitat for Humanity to offer two bicycle tours to all 6 sites included in the 2006 "Tour of Green Homes" on Saturday, October 7th.

You can print out the maps and take either one or both of the rides by yourself or with family or friends at your own pace. Both start at the Habitat for Humanity housing project at 3965 Via Lucero in Santa Barbara. It's located a block north of State Street, just west of La Cumbre Road. Because both tours involve some biking in traffic, they are not suitable for small children on their own bikes or beginners. If a free PFD Reader is not already in your computer, you need to download a copy to view the rides.

		The Bicycle Tour #1 is 6.3 miles long and will take you to four of the home sites in the San Roque and Samarkand neighborhoods. It keeps to quiet residential streets for the most part, but there is some riding on busier arterials. Click on the flyer photo to download it.
		The Bicycle Tour #2 is 21.6 miles long and takes you to the two Montecito home sites. You'll bike on some busy streets that for the most part have bike lanes, but there is also nearly 1000 feet of climbing total. Although it likewise starts at the Via Lucero home site, you can pick it up elsewhere if that's more convenient. Click on the flyer photo to download it.
In order to get into the individual sites, you need to purchase a $25 Habitat for Humanity ticket. It is required to be admitted to any of the 6 sites. Further information and tickets are available at the Habitat for Humanity web site.
