How about hopping on a bicycle and pedaling it for a couple of hours...

Any access to a gym? Rowing is decent cardio workout, depending on what kind of bike you have, you could get a trainer/rollers. Good workout unless you have a FS mtn bike, although you might still be able to rig something up that'll work.

I have a trainer and will be joining a gym, but I was asking for "outside" ideas

Hiking!
Perfect time of year for it. Find the steepest trails with the most elevation gain.
