: Sample Answer

I usually go out for walking in the evening every day and play some outdoor games sometimes, but the outdoor activity that I did for the first time was something different

It was in the middle of last year when I noticed that some of the people have gathered in a field and they had bicycles with them. They were dressed like professional cyclers and were discussing something. That day I was with one of my friends and we went out with our bicycles as part of our evening exercise. My friend and I went closer to the group and heard that they are some members of a bicycling group who do the gathering and cycling as part of their outdoor activity and exercise

After few minutes we found that they were planning to round the city in 3 hours with their bicycle and they would start that in next 30 minutes. The team leader asked us to join them just when we were planning to leave. They made us member of the group and it was free. We started cycling with them starting from this place and went through the major parts of the whole city. Cycling for the whole 3-4 hours was not an easy task and yet we enjoyed it and were close to the group whole time. After few hours we came back to the place where we started and I found that I was totally absorbed and exhausted

The team leader congratulated us because it was our first day and we did well. I looked at my friend and he was looked exhausted and tired. The team gave us a membership card and told that they do it twice in a month. Though we had plans for joining them again, but we could not do so. I found the whole idea of cycling very interesting and a good chance to meet new people. I felt well that we actually did it and the feeling of travelling the whole city riding a bicycle was thrilling

I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone capable as it would be a good exercise as well as a chance to know different people who have some common interests
