There are 365 Days in a year.... and "someday" isnt one of them.

We know everyone has a bucket list or an adventure you want to have... but sometimes its hard to plan, make things happen, so you put it off... and before you know it, you're ringing in 2017 and making another New Years resolution to get out and do more cool stuff....  but lets face it- life gets pretty busy and "someday" always seems like a good excuse.

Don't let being busy get in the way of having a life of adventure, fun and experience!

Join Club Urban Diversion and make those adventures happen.... its super easy- just sign up, show up and have a good time.  As a club member you will have 1-click access to events like skydiving, camping in Yosemite, white water rafting, pub crawls, wine tasting parties, weekends in Tahoe, backpacking trips and so much more.  

So try us and see what a REAL life of adventure is like!  What do you have to lose?

Weather be DAMNED! We love a good time... rain or shine!!!

After 3 years of drought and taking a warm, dry & balmy spring for granted... El Nino reminded us what a true Bay Area spring is all about- unpredictable weather, incorrect weathermen and remembering how to have fun rain or shine!!

 Last weekend we celebrated two of our favorite holidays- St. Patricks Day (via a double decker party bus in the SF St. Patricks Day Parade) and beloved member James' birthday, and despite the threat of torrential rain and wetter-than-wet conditions... our party marched on and reigned (ha ha, pun intended) supreme in full green & gold glory! Turns out that we had the luck of the Irish and the rain stayed away as 80 of us partied on the tallest rolling party in the parade. A big thanks to Ellie who got Guinness and the Golddust Lounge to hook us up with complementary pints to keep us "spirited" and feeling like merry leprechauns!

So if your feeling a bit unlucky with all the rain and cloud cover- why not join us on one of our merry adventures!   And unlike the weathermen- we cant guarantee a sunny forecast, but we certainly can guarantee a great time, good fun and that you will meet some really cool people!

$322 round trip to Asia for our Thailand trip in November!!


WOW... round trip to asia.. for $322 ROUND TRIP!!!! ... well, if you are really flexible!



This is an "Open Jaw" flight - This type of trip is an excellent option for those that love to explore and have some extra time available.  what it means is you fly in and out of different cities.   Ever notice how one way trips are always nearly as expensive as a round trip?   The airlines do this to get you to book at least tow flights... aka buy one get one free... so if you are a savy traveler you can use this to yoru advantage... fly in to one city and out another and you have a $1200 trip for $322!
If you are like me and you have some air miles... you don't even have to worry about if you actually take the flight back or not.  $322 for a one- way is cheap!

GET A TICKET AND JOIN US ON OUR NOVEMBER TRIPS TO THAILAND!

Some Snow? Could It Be?

Summary:
Howdy folks!  We’ve made it to hump day and it’s time to start thinking about the weekend.  Weather for the rest of the week looks good, but expect some cooler weather and breezy conditions coming in from the Bay all the way up to Tahoe.  Around the beaches waves are coming down in size and will get chopped up from the coming onshore winds.  


Hike and Bike Conditions Around the Bay:
Highs in the mid 60’s around the Bay today and tomorrow are going to give way to some cooler temps Friday and into the weekend with highs in the upper 50’s.  Sunny skies will prevail, but winds will pick up a bit on Thursday evening before backing off on Friday.  Looking at the weekend ahead, temperatures are going to remain mild, but there is a slight chance of a shower or two on Friday and Saturday.  Don’t forget that this weekend I’m leading a camping and hiking trip up on Mt. Diablo, come on out to see the amazing vistas, hike amongst wildflowers and sleep under the stars!

Surf Around the Region:  
Short period swell in the chest high range will dominate the beaches over the next few days.  Onshore winds with the coming cool front are also going to chop up the surf a bit.  If you head out, get at it early to ensure the lightest winds.  Interested in learning to surf?  Come join us next month in Bolinas for the second installment of the “Learn to Surf Series” or sign up to travel with me to Baja in April for the UD Baja Surf Safari.   


Around Tahoe:
Mild weather in the 50’s today and tomorrow is going to give way to cooler temps with even a chance of snow going into the weekend.  I wouldn’t expect huge amounts of snow--or anything close to what we need to help out the water/snowpack situation--but it is something.  Nice powder stashes are possible on the higher peaks.  The southern Sierra got some snow earlier this week near Mammoth.  Check out the blower pow!  Head on up to the Tahoe Cabins this weekend and try to get your skis and boards on the snow.
Colorado?  Nope, the Eastern Sierra

Big Dreams Lead to BIG Adventures

We constantly dream about travel & adventure.

We subscribe to National Geographic online, we flood our Instagram with inspiring pics and are always on the hunt for off-the-beaten path locations to explore.  And every once in a while we get lucky enough to turn our dreams into reality and act on our travel impulses.

This year the travel gods were awesome to us and we ventured to Peru for the trip of a lifetime.
Macchu Picchu!  Bucket List Achievement Unlocked!!
And when we say trip of a lifetime... we mean a 5 day trek on the Inca Trail into Machu Picchu, venturing to Colca Canyon in Southern Peru to watch the (almost extinct) Andean Condor soar gracefully over our heads at dawn, ride in the grass canoes on the floating islands in Lake Titicaca and learn to roast & eat Guinea Pig in the Peruvian Highlands, get our spirituality on with the Amazonian shaman.... our minds were constantly blown by how friendly the Peruvian people were and how much variety the country had.

As professional adventurers- we get super stoked on how great the country is and the experience... but what makes us happiest is all the awesome Urban Diversion members that came with us on this trip of a lifetime.  Our dynamic group trekked up the Inka Trail with the passion of a seasoned mountaineers- despite the crazy elevation (15,300ft) and the (occationally) snowy weather- sharing this journey with each other was not only the highlight of the trip but its also what pushes us to keep the adventures coming.   Check out our adventure pics HERE.
UD Adventure Crew 2015
While we are very excited to have checked this item off the bucket list- we cant help but get anxious about keeping the dream alive and searching for our next international adventure.  So... help us stoke our next adventure- perhaps one we can all share- and tell us WHERE you want to do and WHAT adventure is on your "dream big list.

Maybe together- we can make it happen!
Keep Dreaming BIG friends!
