Santa Monica Mountains, California

Santa Monica / Malibu / Pt Mugu / Thousand Oaks
(Area West of the 405, South of the 101)

The Santa Monica Mountains System Map offers an all-inclusive view of the stunning and dramatic landscape, providing cyclists with just the right amount of information they need to enjoy their ride and discover new terrain with confidence. The map is designed for easy navigation, making it simple for riders of all levels to find their way around.

The Santa Monica Mountain ridge-line separates the southern “Ocean Side” from the northern San Fernando “Valley Side”. Each has its own set of vistas and micro-climates. The ocean side is more humid with a frequent marine layer of clouds in the morning. By contrast, the valley, is more desert-like, with larger temperature swings throughout the day and year. Cyclists can climb then descend from one side to the other, or take in sweeping views of both while riding along the ridge-line.

Make sure you pay attention to the water stops, because the area is large and you can find yourself empty quickly.
