Rode out of (Monterey Street) Santa Barbara, to the Ventura/SB County line, to do the Guber Loop.
This rest stop provides benches and a drinking fountain roadside on Gubernador Canyon Rd near Foothill Rd
Nice of the landowners to provide it for years to the general public, hikers, and bicyclists.
“Mmm! What is this?”
Tom’s Cookies
I carry them on bicycle rides.
All the ingredients
and the ingredients listed:
2 raw eggs
4 tablespoons currants
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
4 tablespoons raw cashew nuts, chopped
2 small apples, sliced into slivers & chunks
3 or 4 knives of peanut butter (dark roasted, creamy)
1 cup thick rolled oat flakes cooked in 1 1/2 cups water, to make oatmeal
olive oil and brush
Makes 16 cookies
Do this:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine in a bowl all the ingredients
Mix with fork and spoon, (real dry & sticky batter)
Brush baking tray or dish (I use four white porcelain lasagna boats)
Dollop dough blobs into boats
Bake in oven for 40 minutes at 350 degrees
Turn off oven, pull out rack to cool a bit
Spatula them into containers, and refrigerate
They are a heavy, substantial food to take along on a ride.
They shatter, so I carry them in a small Tupperware
container slipped into my saddle bag or wind-vest pocket.
