Hiking / Backpacking
My experience in Boy Scouts was a great one, and
one of the things our group did was a lot backpacking. This included all of
the obvious spots in central Texas, as well as high adventure trips to
Colorado, the Boundary Waters area in Minnesota/Canada, sailing in the Florida
Keys, and of course Philmont in New
Mexico. I've since stayed relatively active as a backpacker and hiker.
Recently, I have become interested in lightening my load. I've always been
large enough to carry a decent amount of backpacking gear, but there's no
reason to carry a 45lb pack when 25lbs will do.

Bicycling
Walking is fine, but often too slow for me. Running hurts
and it's challenging to carry much useful with you. Bicycling is just right.
I'm certainly not ready to give up my trusty automobile, but I commute by
bicycle whenever practical.
My current road/gravel ride is a Rodeo Labs Flaanimal, and my current mountain bike is a Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Expert. For city riding I have a Brompton H6R black edition with a T bag and a Giant Halfway folding bike.

Frisbee
The first time I seriously tossed a disc was my freshman
year in college. Since then, it's been a persistant side hobby of
mine. There's just something fun about frisbees. I'm most at home just
tossing a disc around in a courtyard, but it's not difficult at all to
talk me into a game of Ultimate or
disc golf.
