Nicole is working to create community wherever she is. Her home is in the small coastal town of Ventura, where the mountains meet the sea. She inspires people to get outdoors and she creates welcoming experiences for all people and abilities. Her mission is to redefine the culture for women and young people in sport.

Ventura Coffee Ride

It all began with an idea—

Some friends were ideating on a group ride, all about coffee and friends. Early Friday mornings seemed ideal, before folks head into work.

For over 3 years now, a large group of pro and amateur cyclists brave the early morning hours to celebrate the week. It’s a chill ride where we get a few morning miles and enjoy some good coffee together.

For some, it’s a weekly workout. For others, its a chill shakeout ride to prep for the weekend. Either way, it’s a way for us to create community around things we love: Ventura, coffee and friends.
