Bill and I moved from Reno, Nevada to Ventura, California about 5 years ago.
We left a very close-knit group of friends that we had cultivated after many years of living there and that centered around cycling. We loved our friends and the community but eventually we ended up hating the snow and really wanted a change.
We chose heaven Ventura.
We love the weather, the outdoor options, our jobs, and the location.
And finally we feel as if we have started to make good friends like we had in Reno. It takes a while when you get older 
Yesterday we got to join our cycling friends for a fun cycling themed afternoon.
What could be better than italian food, italian wine, italian bikes and friends?
The food:
The wine:
Bikes!
of all kinds……I think Bill was smitten with this one in particular:
And of course…….friends.
We have to say we finally feel like Ventura is home 
And the icing on the cake? We got to walk to and from the bike shop! That makes it even better.
