Estes Park, Colorado would be my choice.

Knot...Eugene does not have a dry climate...does it? Or, is that an incorrect stereotype I have?

Well, Rocky Mountain National Park is my favorite place to camp, and I'd love to live in Estes Park (right there at the national park entrance) which is about an hour from Boulder, which is another way cool place, and not much farther to Denver.
It's dry in the mountains. The only thing not so available is the large body of water, though there are mountain lakes and streams all over.
Chasm Falls:
And cyclists riding up Fall River Road in the park:

Pooks, thanks!
Trek420, I LOVED the visits I have done to Sonoma. Are there mountains visible from there? It has been awhile since I've been..."The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew, and live through it." ~ Doug Bradbury

Oh yeah, those mountains we were all recently arguing about whether you need a triple to ride.

Depends on what you mean by mountains, hills really but here's a typical photo from Santa Rosa Cycling Club. Originally Posted by Starfish

Don't tell anyone about what I think is the most beautiful part of CA; Sonoma County.
Small towns I'm thinking Sebastapol, Healdsburgh, Pt. Reyes, Fairfax whoops, that's in Marin county let's go back to Sonoma ... Petaluma, Calistoga ... you might like Santa Cruz to the south of the Bay ....lots of small towns to choose from.

Does X-country biking mean mountain bikiing or touring on a road bike?
If XC mtbiking plus all your other criteria, Bend, Oregonia.
The dry side of the Cascades with mountains on one side and flat on the other. Fabulous mtbiking, road biking, skiing, water sports, etc. ,etc., etc. Distilleries, breweries, Washington pinots within reach. What's not to like?
That's where I'm headed.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.
