Les, there is a bike path that runs down to Ventura from Ojai along the Ventura River (http://www.traillink.com/trail/ventura-river-trail-(ojai-valley-trail-extension).aspx). A great ride......Elaine and I have ridden it numerous times over the years. Turn left on Main Street right into the Old Town area, and a lot of great restaurants. Go right up to Rincon Parkway.
