Santa Barbara in the summer

We drove down to Southern California for Erin and Mike’s wedding.  We rented a house and took a walk in the morning.

Of course we had to get coffee.  We walked to Handlebar coffee roasters featured a Probat and a Pinarello side by side.  Former racers turned roasters.

I had an espresso, as usual.  Succulents are everywhere these days, and they were a nice touch.

You can’t see it from here, but their mats behind the counter were bike shop mats.  Also a nice touch.

Lots of cyclists hung out at Handlebar after getting their morning rides in.
