Description

After a long ride to Divide Peak from any direction you choose, the reward is Ocean View trail. A long, 13-mile ridgeline run with views of the ocean, islands, and inner Los Padres.

While never a consistent descent, rather being largely small descents followed by small climbs until one last drop to valley floor, this trail is fun in its own right.

A large mission no matter how you approach it, but worth it for views moreso than anything else.

Parked at Oso. Pedaled up 33 to Matilija Canyon then up MD to MA to OV. Overgrown. Fair amount of pushing bike. Very beautiful will do again! 30mi — 6h 00m

That was a big day up from Matilija. The Murietta Divide "Road" is in poor shape too. Get It Done Crew doing an excellent job though on the OVT. 20mi
