Follows the Mini Metric to Foster Park, but then continues to the east end of the Ojai Valley. It then goes over Casitas Pass, Gobernador and Toro Canyon where it then joins the Century route. The final loop to Bella Vista and Ladera have considerable gain and if riders do not reach Manning Park by a cut off time, they will be routed onto the Century course.
