Try my town. Only an hour or so from Tucson and minutes to the "pine line" in our little mountains.

When he retired from his 40-year career at H-P in SiliValley, my uncle moved to Sierra Vista AZ. He, a native of Kauai HI, and my aunt, a native of San Francisco CA, love it and recommend it highly. My father, another Kauai native, has happily retired in a suburb of Provo UT, on the Wasatch front. As our Forum moderator can tell you, Utah has alot going for it. If I did not live a km from the Pacific Ocean, my next choice might be the Rocky Mountains.
Also, you do not have to move cross-country to find a reasonably hospitable climate -- consider the Ozarks, North Carolina, or Virginia. As our many Atlantans can tell you, parts of Georgia aren't too bad for cycling, either.
