Pacific Coast Bicycle Trail with some detour to the wineries along the Santa Ynez Valley / Solvang.
A GREAT tour, especially if you do it off season when there is not a lot of traffic.
Attention: The last 40 miles to Santa Barbara are sort of difficult - there is basically no other way than going on highway 1 which at that part is a 2-lane highway with quite some traffic, but there is a wide shoulder to ride on. Still, you might want to go across the mountains from Solvang but I don't know how much traffic there is and how wide the roads. Alternatively stay in Solvang, visit a few wineries and skip Santa Barbara :-)

We took off from San Francisco.
Back from Santa Barbara take Amtrak - it is possible to take the bike but be there in advance - you will have to pack it into a cardboard box (which you can buy at the train station) and check it in as luggage. Usually this needs to be done a couple of hours before the train departs!
It is a nice train ride back!
