holiday gift guide :: outdoor enthusiast
December 8, 2009
here’s a little known fact about me.. i’m really an outdoor gal at heart. i didn’t used to be- but then i met the hub, and he turned me on to the great outdoors! he’s a professional cyclist and avid mountain biker and dabbles in just about everything else- fly fishing, kayaking, mountaineering- you name it. i’m a little less hardcore- but have done my stint at mountain and road biking, and even a little kayaking. i took advanced rock climbing in college- and *loved it- i wish i could go more often. we also love to backpack. in fact, we had planned to thru hike the appalachian trail (about a 5 month adventure) but as of yet- we’ve just been doing a few days of the trail here and there. the thing i love the most is trail running. we can go together and running on a trail is so much more scenic and fun then the pavement. plus, it’s easier on the joints and all those roots keep your mind busy- so you can’t think about the pain!
what are you an enthusiast about?

Great gift guide! Thanks for featuring sylvialouise. We can’t get enough of cycling. Looking forward to the 2010 season. Merry Christmas!
Oh I love that pom pom toque!
Last year our family had the chance to go out and about on some rocks near a jetty in FL…my oldest daughter (she’s seven) and I loved it so much we came home and took a rock climbing class…can’t wait to get back at it this winter! It’s a sport that makes you feel strong – a great lesson for a young girl…and any woman, for that matter!
hey jes! oo fun! yes- makes you feel so strong and accomplished- like you could take on the world!
