Santa Barbara Tour Guides

Hi there, my name is Chris, and I bring over 30 years of cycling experience to every tour I lead. My background spans coaching riders of all levels, owning and operating a bicycle shop, and working extensively as a professional bicycle mechanic. I have years of hands-on experience that means I understand not only how to ride, but how to keep riders safe, comfortable, and confident on the road. For the past 21 years, I’ve called this area my home. During that time, I’ve explored its roads, coastlines, vineyards, and hidden back routes countless times on my own bike, simply because I love riding here. As a licensed travel guide, I’ve combined that personal passion with professional training to create thoughtfully designed tours that showcase the very best of this remarkable region. I also maintain strong relationships with local wineries, restaurants, and accommodations, which allows me to offer guests unique, welcoming, and well-curated experiences beyond the ride itself. Whether it’s a quiet tasting room, a memorable meal, or a comfortable place to rest after a day in the saddle, I can help connect you with some of the finest the Central Coast has to offer. This isn’t just a place where I work—it’s my home. Every route I share is one I’ve ridden, refined, and truly enjoyed. My goal is simple: to give you an authentic, unforgettable cycling experience that blends great riding, local flavor, and the natural beauty of the Central Coast. I look forward to sharing the roads I love with you. -Chris
