I understand your dilemma and thank you for taking the Y's mission into consideration. Depending on how many months during the year you don't use your membership because you'd rather be outside, you might consider cancelling and rejoining or talking to them about some other arrangement. Believe me, the average Y wants to work with its members in an effort to retain them.
