Back road ride to the Summit for lunch & the Vintage Honda MC exhibit

Meet 9:30am at West Hills - Platt Village Shopping Center
North East Corner of Platt Avenue & Victory Boulevard
West Hills, CA 91307

At north end there is a Pavilion’s with outside tables where we will meet.
They have Starbucks Coffee & pastries.
Have a full tank when you arrive, there is a Union 76 station in the South West Corner of Platt and Victory We won’t stop for gas until we are back in Santa Paula about 50 miles.

We will leave at 10am and ride to the Summit for lunch. Here’s a restaurant critic’s review:

“In the mountains north of Ventura, California, on a curvy stretch of Route 150 between Ojai and Santa Paula, there lies a beacon of burgers for this area: the Summit. An unassuming roadside stand with picnic tables and a small covered dining room for the chilly months, the Summit serves soup du jour, sandwiches, hot dogs, and chicken strips, but what we sought was their Western burger.

Around these parts, that means bacon, cheese, an onion ring, and barbeque sauce, all crammed in a soft bun with a rather large, hand-formed hamburger patty. The perfect combination of these basic elements—juicy meat, smoky bacon, crunchy onion ring, tangy barbeque sauce, creamy cheese—allowed us to reach burger bliss in one bite.

The Summit is also known for their milkshakes, and we chose the cherry variety: blush-pink, fruity, and not too thick (though they do have an Extra Thick option), it was also scrumptious and the ideal complement to the bigger-than-your-mouth burger. The Summit is an essential stop on the way to Ojai or Santa Paula and warrants a trip by itself.”

Then to Santa Paula and a very unique exhibit of exceptional vintage Honda Motorcycles at the California Oil Museum. Nine motorcycles are on display from 1952 to 1967 with one beautiful 1994 rare racing machine Admission is $4 Adults, $3 Seniors.

The museum also has many other great things to see.
