Hmm...I can share a few NorCal highlights that I have enjoyed, including...

- Biking through Sonoma and sipping wine at the many local wineries
- Skiing on fresh powder down steep chutes at Squaw Valley in Lake Tahoe
- Marveling at the views from nearly 9,000 feet elevation on the summit of Half Dome
- Hanging precariously off of many a beachside cliff near Jenner (Sonoma County)
- Enjoying a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers while watching the sunset from the beach in Moss Landing
- Walking along the Bodega Bay clifftops with my family
- Checking out some great restaurants and nightlife in SOMA (SF)
- Biking along 17 Mile Drive just south of Monterey
- Immersing myself in sushi heaven at Tsunami Sushi in Mountain View
- Taking a boat ride underneath the Golden Gate Bridge with my friend who was visiting from Australia

And many more...

I'm not sure if that answers the question in the way that you were looking for, but it is what stands out to me!

Those are great. And surprise, surprise all but one are in the outdoors.

Wow, I didn't even realize that. To be fair, all but TWO are in the outdoors (Tsunami Sushi and SOMA exploration), and I included wine tasting in Sonoma, although, to be fair, that is secondary to biking.

OKAY - just to add a few others that don't involve massive amounts of technical equipment
- Sitting in many a Silicon Valley coffee shop, working on website development and thinking to myself, "hmm, I'm one of them"
- Working with employees from more than one major technology company in the area and getting insider information (like, which tech company has the best cafeteria, etc.)
- Eating Mexican Food at many of the random small towns in the central valley, en route to the Sierras
- "Competing" (aka climbing and then eating free beer and pizza) at one of the many everyman competitions at the local Bay Area rock gyms (it IS technically indoors)
- Showing my East Coast parents around my current place of residence
- Being introduced to Deschutes Brewery
- Riding the ferry under the Golden Gate Bridge with my friend from Australia

Yeah...okay...you are right. I am running out of indoor ideas quickly.
