This is an easy ride down Main Street to the bike path on main, along the Ventura river and down thee coastal path to Marina park and back to California Street. About 5 miles of flat riding with a gradual uphill back to cars. Optional lunch after - downtown

Casual gathering, no pressure to drink alcohol. Relaxed conversation with a circle share of introductions and ideas. Always enjoyable, comfortable and easy. Note our pictures on Meetup to find us, I'll let the server know who we are, and/or look for the larger group and ask for Heather & Greg!

Retired, Active and Outdoor Club

Active retired local couples and single types interested in getting together in person - mostly outside! Nice people of all kinds welcome, interested in trying new adventures, sharing skills or interests, learning and building lasting friendships. All ability levels, genders, cultures and backgrounds welcome. Bring friends and family - we are not exclusive to being retired, just more flexible in our schedules. Join us for our monthly introductory gathering of food, drink and introductions at a local eatery / brewery, and from there we will design a calendar of activities of interest.

Beginner gourd art using drills, burners, dremels and / or paints or inks - I have some supplies and gourds, feel free to bring supplies as well. We can work outside, break for snacks and walks, enjoy the day!

I will email everyone address two days before. FYI it is in Oak View, just below Ojai.
