The RUTE Start is at the intersection of Toro Canyon Rd and Foothill Rd (192).

To get to the First Handoff, follow 192 (East Valley Road) to San Ysidro Road. Turn right (uphill). Turn left on Mountain Drive and run to the handoff at Cold Springs Trail, just past where the stream crosses the road. All uphill, mostly modest, a litle sharper at the end. (6.3 miles)

For the Second Handoff, continue on Mountain Drive, a rolling windy road, to Gibraltar. Take sharp right up Gibraltar for three miles to wide turn in road that has a line of six boulders and "No Shooting" signs on the right. Handoff. Mostly mild uphill on Mountain, then sharp uphill on Gibraltar. (7 miles)

To get to the Third Handoff, follow Camino Cielo to 154. When you reach Highway 154, stop. Wave across the highway to your team member. Ultra runners cross with caution. A few modest uphills, but overall a long downhill--about 1800 feet of drop in this leg. (9 miles)

Running to the Fourth Handoff, you are intially standing on the frontage road in front of a yellow sign with a black arrow pointing left downhill to another sign that says "Kinevan Road." Follow both arrows. Kinevan takes an abrupt right down on a very narrow (and pretty) road. After one mile you hit Camino Cielo again. Go sharp right and follow road to start of dirt road at the Gun Club. Handoff. Very pretty section, mixing sheltered downhill and exposed-stone uphill. (4.7 miles)

To get to the Fifth Handoff, you will be running all on dirt road. Run past the second hill of towers to where road forks sharply right (~150 degrees). Fork goes back toward tower. It should be clear that this is the highest point, and there are a lot of towers. You'll have started running slightly downhill and will be able to see a lot of downhill ahead. The runner we shuttled will be waiting there. Wait for shuttle out to pick-up area. If you're not sure, or don't see anybody, keep going until you do. We probably haven't fogotten you. Steep drop in first mile, then mild but relentless uphill. Total climb is around 2200'. (~9 miles)

Sixth Handoff, is at the junction of W. Camino Cielo and Refugio Rd. Continue along dirt then paved road, down to the intersection of Refugio Road and Camino Cielo Road. Handoff. Long downhill, mostly dirt. (~7 miles)

Downhill Refugio Hill to the Seventh Handoff, (watch your footing) on narrow road. Handoff is at bridge over Santa Ynez River. Sharp downhill (~4M?), then rolling. (10 kilometers)

To get to the Eighth Handoff, take Refugio over bridge to Highway 246. Go left and stay on left hand side of road, run against traffic. Turn left at Alisal Road (there's stop light). Go though downtown Solvang area. Continue on Alisal over bridge past golf course and Alisal Ranch. Past Alisal ranch, not to it. It's a ways out of town. Handoff directly acrtos from the entrance to Alisal Ranch--you should see lots of corrals, horses, etc. Mild downhill, and level. (6.9 miles)

That's it! The last and Ninth Handoff. To get to the falls, run along Alisal Road to Nojoqui Falls park entrance. Gentle uphill, then roughly a mile and half of not-as-gentle uphill, then finish on the more-or-less flat. (3.6 miles)
