Second day in a row that the weather was perfect for a bike ride! I love the wind in my hair, the burn in my thighs, l can't stop grinning!
What's your go-to outdoor activity?
Walking/hiking while doing bird photography. I'm what I call an "extreme birder." I hike, climb cliffs, wade swamps, crouch in thickets, ignore bad weather, take trips and even move to other countries (like Thailand!) to get desired bird photos.
Here I am in 2009, with birding camera equipment, camo clothing I designed and made myself, after climbing Lockeegee Rock, Rowan CO, KY
Kayaking. I have a double I built from a kit. It's made of marine plywood. I also have a plastic single. Around here the opportunities are endless.
@Akfishlady I haven't been able to use the double since my partner died. A friend has a single but no place to store it. She keeps it at my place and I get to use it.
bicycle riding!! But snow threatens here - too cold.
Just get some snow tires! (kidding). Besides, what's snow?
Me and my big mouth. We now have snow! Time to get out the mountain bike? @silverotter11
Fishing.
Like most men who fish I have taken a few women to show them how to read the water. One was shocked to see a trout in a shallow stream once she learned not to clump around and break the skyline.
Nowadays I can't stand the cold that didn't use to bother me.
Getting old I 'spose.
It's not so bad though. Temperatures are slowly rising and I'll be able to get out more. Have spent many a happy hour fishing.
Listening to Susana Baca - seriously good.
I just go out and walk the trails when it's nice. The weather has warmed up rapidly here in the past week, pretty much spring if it keeps this pace.
Probably just tending to my animals, I have goats, quail and chickens. But I love riding my motorcycle or walking trails.
Yard work . Neglect is off the table. Have to do it in small steps, as least we got a hint of spring.
Mowing - All my cares just drift away while mowing and listening to oldies.
Recently for me its fly fishing one of Colorado's many Gold Medal trout streams. With Colorado's average 300 days of sunshine a year this can be done year round. Here is me catching my personal record 28 inch brown trout in the Colorado River on Feb 17th, 2018. A beautiful, gorgeous day in the high country. [Photo won't load. I'll try later]
Its the bicycle for me. We have a lot of disused railway lines that have been turned into bike trails.
Just recently I've started running at a Parkrun. That was nice. Fresh air, friendly people and doesn't take too long
We do, too! And a Cultural Trail that runs through the city like spokes. I love it!
Hiking with my camera. In the desert in the winter, the mountains in the summer.
