Summer Fun

Hiking, or as they say over here randonn�e. The trails and forest in France are just great. We've got so much forest less than an hour away from the city. I love that feeling of pine needles underfoot as well!

Stateside, I'm hoping to get up to New Hampshire (family) and do some up there around the end of August (escaping the Republicans and their convention).

Otherwise swimming, swimming and more swimming.

Jogging & biking.

Used to do that all the time as a kid. I love the outdoors when it's cool or cold, but I'm pretty lame this summer. Just keeping out of the 100F heat.

Latenight walks in the neighborhood are about all I'm up to physically.

Summer sucks right now. It's cold (16�-18�C) and rains all day. I'm getting really annoyed because I'm not able to dings outside due to this shitty weather.

I cycle to and from work every day and usually anywhere else I have to go thats within reason. Tuesday and Thursday nights I crew on yacht for evening races, spinnaker and whitesail, respectively.

Sit in front of computer and maybe go to San Francisco.

Baseketball.

Gemini--Yeah, I don't like the heat either; I found that running in the rain is great in the summer--instant cooling! My dogs are smart about the heat. Whenever we pass a stream they wade right in.

Paully Dub-I like hiking in NH as well...haven't been there this summer yet, but hope to. Black fly season should be over by now (the miserable critters). The mountains of Franconia Ridge are really beautiful on a clear day. It's quite a workout for the knees coming down from there, though.

Yose--cool that you bike to work. I used to, but haven't found a safe enough route to my current job. Nice to be able to sail every evening, too. It must be great to live that close to the ocean.

I'm not into sports.

i'm trying to get into jogging, but it's just soooo boring. next week i'll be running with a buddy of mine who's going to be in the ny marathon.

i think i'll try surfing when i'm in bali. too bad there aren't any waves, or a beach for that matter, here in the middle of frickin' germany.

flying and partying. specifically, flying to MA, NY, and CA and partying.

Phil, you will love Boston. It's the best. NY is great, but a little too big to grasp in a short time. Get to the observatory on the Empire State building at around nighfall. That's something you will never forget.

CA people are vampires, but if you get to the coast you will have a blast.

I like to fish.

Bike riding and going to the gym

My wife ran her first Triathlon a few weeks ago. I think I have the bug. I really want to give it a go in October for the Mission Bay Triathlon.

Same here! As well as Tennis.

Hiking in the New Jersey pine barrens.

What about drinking games?
Does that count?

sounds fine to me

Cycling.

Fishing and Geocaching, which is hiking, but with an ammo box at the end

rock climbing.

unfortunately due to the fact that i am in florida and it is flat here i have been confined to a climbing gym. hey it could be worse. i am going to london for a month and they have a very nice gym. contemplating making a weekend trip into england for some climbing.

I do a bit of trail running in the Catoctin Range in MD and in some of the parks around Washington, DC. However, I am always either doing day-hikes or biking on Summer weekends. I spent this past weekend doing day-hikes on the AT in western MD. As long as I am doing something outdoors I am happy.


PS--I used to bike to work but I've got a new job and now I have a 15-minute walk, door-to-door.

Bike & Hike�

Yeah, I feel the same way. Give me a trail or a river and a map and I'm happy.

Shaolin Kung fu now I have the time to train properly! Won't be balencing on spears or developing "Steel jacket" any time soon tho!

(sic!) ?
