Date women from United States / California / University Heights, 45 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. All parts in good working condition and well maintained for stated age.
I love to play outdoors in the dirt and snow. I'm a glutton for abuse: I find 100 mile bike (pedaling) rides "fun." Four wheels move the body: two wheels move the soul. I tend to sink when I swim: a consequence of 29 years of weight training. I'll travel on a whim: I don't need stars to classify the quality of a hotel, as I often prefer the one's outside of my tent. I've had the great fortunate of soaking in a brillant sunrise while summiting Mt Rainier with friends; but, I still appreciate the subtle magic of a weekend SoCal hike. NPR is frequently on my airwaves. I love to get lost in a good book. I strongly believe in overcoming inertia. I rarely watch TV and when I do its usually football, hockey (my beloved Red Wings), the TDF, or an occasional movie. I love a good burger and craft beer: however, I don't drink much. Friends, family, and experiences are my most precious gifts. Everyday I'm grateful for a multitude of reasons. I try to not take the simple and mundane things in life for granted; like being able to get out of bed on my own volition. Working on a spinal cord injury unit for many years helped shape this perspective. I am forever grateful to the many people who have touched my life in immeasurable ways.
My ideal match: loyal, athletic, smarter-than-the-average-bear, semi-evolved, and honorable. I'm seeking a male cohort to share in this adventure called life. Shared interests are important: but, seperate pursuits are good too. Life isn't always a "festival of laterns": so having the capacity to be present during the challenging times is as important as having the ability to share joyous moments. Bonus points for having the ability to: laugh when stuck in traffic, deliver a devilish smirk, occasionally buck convention, open doors for others, wear a kilt regimental, and grill a mean steak.
Thanks for reading my profile and the best of luck to you. If you are interested in more drop me a note....
