Great question! Check out Meet Up or Vallejo Bike and Kayak on Facebook. They are informative and friendly groups. Happy paddling! Kathy

Howdy! Hope you found some great places to camp despite COVID. I found that Reserve California website has great options for you that are kid-friendly. Have a great rest of your season, Kathy

Hi! Any updates to the availability to install roof racks at REI? Thanks!

Balance, balance, and more balance. Figure out your center of gravity with activities like yoga for starters. Then take a class......REI is a great place to start. Be prepared to fall in the water, so bring a change of clothes.

Just found this site and since we are doing our best at shelter-in-place during COVID, it is great to be connected to others who like the outdoors. I am a 60+ year old lady, who enjoys bike riding my neighborhood with my canine companion, gardening, kayaking, camping (tent & teardrop trailer), and skiing. Before I turned 50, I was fat, out of shape, and missing joy. I started slowly with gentle yoga, progressed with cardio, and paid attention to nutrition. It isn't working out, lol, 'cuz that sounds like "work." It is more like fun to be outdoors and active. The REI classes are fun and informative. Much of the time, I am solo, and water activities really should be done in a group or partnered for safety. The kayaking classes are great for that. Stay safe y'all and hope to be outside soon, Kathy 😄

It's great that women of all sizes and shapes are active, but we need clothes that work with us. I am a different build but still challenged to find good fitting clothes. I am short, so tailoring for length is a given most of the time. I am also thicker waisted, thanks to menopause, and many REI brands don't give room, unless I find an adjustable waist. I have found a ski bib that may work for you based on many, many customer reviews. They are Arctix ski bibs, and found on Amazon. They worked for me. I read where it is OK to post other brands. I have some Columbia capris I wear for kayaking, and they seem well cut in the hip/thigh. Best of luck, Kathy
