I live in Spokane WA and there are plenty of outdoor things to do doing there, but one thing is I love to bike ride on the continental trail, it is a 37 mile long paved trail that extends from WA to Idaho, then there were beautiful sights along the way and it was completely vehicle free.
I love going for a super long bike ride and feeling totally safe and free.
The weather in WA is just perfect to ride bikes in, just about all year long I can do a bike ride, but even in the dead of summer time I don’t worry about overheating. In October, at peak times it will only be in the high 73s… Yes, it isn’t pleasant when you are stationary and in the sunshine, but nice when the wind whips around you on a bike. During the colder times I wear a hat, bike gloves and a jacket, but since I am pumping our legs and genuinely moving, I naturally think quite warm. It is genuinely only late October to December that I stay clear of the trail. It just gets a bit cold and possibly snowy. That isn’t too bad though! What I do instead during those times is put our stationary bike inside. I have our bike propped right in our study room by the gas furnace. I set our oil furnace to low heating mode and comfortably peddle. Somedays I am feeling genuinely adventurous and I will turn up our oil furnace and do a hot yoga session in front of it. It genuinely is a nice area to work out in.
