TG,
You will have a pretty climb to get to the Solvang area. It is very pretty though.
I think you may have ride on the shoulder of the 101 Freeway to get to Ojai. Maybe one of the gals who didn't break her arm the Saturday before Cool Breeze will post. Never have been to Ojai, so I can't comment there.
Weather, Should be in the 80-90's. You may want to bring some tights and a jacket ,as it does get down into high 50's. Also, It's starting to be rainy season here.

You might want to check out the Channel Islands Bicycle Club. They are the ones who sponsored the Cool Breeze Century. I'm sure you could even call someone there. I live down in L.A., so I don't know any cyclists personally in the Santa Barbara area, but everyone I met from the club at Cool Breeze was super nice.

Hey! here is the link for Channel Islands bike club

they actually have a ride in Solvang on October 14th.
There MAY be a century that starts in Malibu on Oct 14th that I may do.
That will be about a 90 minute to 2 hour drive from SB to Malibu if you wanted to try that?
