Highway 246

- Hwy 246

Highway 246 is a nice, comfortable 35 mile ride. If you're looking to just snap the throttle lock down and kick back, this may be a ride for you. If you're looking for a tight canyon run loaded with twisties, it will not satisfy your needs (although some of it's off-shoot rides might). From start to finish Hwy 246 is 35.8 miles long, stretching from Hwy 154 in Santa Ynez to the Pacific Ocean past Lompoc.

Hwy 246 offers some very nice off-shoot rides and runs through the two tourists destinations of Santa Ynez and Solvang (home of the Solvang Antique Motorcycle Museum), as well as Anderson's Split Pea Soup House in Buellton.
