If you've ever wanted to try biking, bird watching, rock climbing or kayaking, now's your chance. From May 16th-May 25th, Pittsburgh is celebrating Great Outdoors Week and you're invited to attend. Events include National Bike to Work Day, the Venture Outdoors Festival, and a Learn to Row session that are sure to provide a lot of fun for individuals and family who are into-or want to get into-fun outdoor activities. To find out more, check out the 'Great Outdoors Week' story on this site, and use the links to visit the cool organizations who are taking part in this extravaganza. Everybody's got something going on, so whether you like to pedal, climb, paddle or just enjoy the beauty of nature, you're sure to find something that floats your boat (or pushes your pedals, or moves your mountains, or whatever-you get the idea.) We'd love to hear back from you on this site about what you did during Great Outdoors Week, and how much fun you had when the walls came down. Drop us a reply or post a photo and share your outdoor adventures here!
