Day Two: Ventura to Buellton

We had an awesome welcome at Ventura Harley-Davidson to start the day after a cruisy 10 mile ride from the hotel. They opened the shop early for some private shopping time, provided an awesome HOT breakfast, gave us dealer shot glasses and snack packs for the road, and even did a raffle just for us giving away several very cool T-Shirts. Thank you Tracey and the whole Ventura H-D gang for such a warm welcome!!!

After one of our many marathon gas stops, we headed inland for a beautiful ride with lots of hills and twisty turns. Everyone rode brilliantly. We stopped at Santa Barbara Harley-Davidson for a pit stop and a bit more shopping, then down to Santa Barbara for lunch along the beach. The weather was perfect - no clouds, no fog, sunny, warm, not boiling hot. Just gorgeous.

Then back on the road for more inland riding through the hills through Solvang and finally stopping in Buellton for the night. Thank you Marriott for hosting us once again! Everyone had a fun night, with most of the group getting in a little dancing in the bar thanks to a juke box and a very tolerant bar tender.

We've been meeting people touched by breast cancer everywhere we stop, and everyone has made a point of reaching out and connecting with them, sharing what we are up to and why it is important. Many names of women we are riding for have been added to our vans along the way.
