I basically have the two........biking in spring, summer and autumn and snowboarding during the winter. With both I try to do them at least once every weekend. :smile: I like to watch football too on TV, much to the dismay of SWMBO. What do you like to do in your spare time?
Obviously bikes but also enjoy the occasional game of golf although my single figure handicap disappeared several years ago, when the weather's not too bad I also enjoy a day fishing on a good river or more recently fluff chucking (fly fishing) and like the OP getting on the slopes in the winter is brilliant although I'm a skier and have never tried boarding.
1. Ducati's All year if poss ! 2. Mountain bikes. All year if poss! Since I broke my shoulder not when its muddy on the down hills :wink: 3. Fell walking In the winter.
Bikes, archery, ten pin bowling and until I did my back I used to play volleyball in the local league and Eastern region tournaments, which I thought was quite good for a ( at the time) 45 year old.
Bike and car mechanic, the case-savers & other stainless jibble keeps my metalwork hand in, a little guitar-playing from time to time? If the house wasnt a renter I would no doubt be sirting that out. Retired from mountainbiking back in 2008, didnt bounce as well as I did when I started anymore, tended to go down and stay down, the recovery time was Epic. (We rode at Longleat, albeit on the quiet? Here's Lord Bath getting some "Rad Air" :biggrin: )
where do i start? until my spinal surgery i used to lots of weight training (hope to get back to it in the new year), SCUBA diving instructor, Mountain biking, motorbikes, guitar/music , model making and loads of other stuff. motorbikes have taken rather a back seat of late for numerous reasons, but im finding that im actually not missing it as much as i thought i would. i think its because in the UK a sportsbike has become something of a pointless exercise.
Besides the bikes I like messing about with cars, Beachcasting and in the winter when the snow is about I get the Oil paints out and knock up a few pictures almost allways aircraft
work with horses at weekends so when weather is no good for the bikes you can normaly get out on a horse for a quick spin
A quiz for 1st one it is noisy and expensive I would also love to pick back up MTB but living in London would need a car to go anywhere fun ..... El Toro I want to go winter holiday this year to re-learn snowboarding (was not on board for 10y now) any cheap suggestions for a week in Feb?
Depends what you want Lucas. I think that from a VFM point of view a chalet holiday is great. All your food and drink taken care of and if you wanted to go out too you can do that too. But if you'd rather do self catering then there are some bargains to be had too. I always tend to head to high resorts to make sure we have snow, but that too carries a premium. A good resort to go to which is cheap (as its a tax free zone) and is high, and therefore has a ton of snow, is Livigno in Italy. Downside is that it take four hours to get there from any airport. But I have had some good times there.
Bikes all yr!! But at nights and in real shitty weather online gaming, also getting back into model making(got sick of it doin it for a living)
Bikes is my first big hobby or should I say passion my next passion is baking! I also love running and nice walks with the dog...clears the mind and keeps me fit!
WLTM someone from the Christians against knitting caravaners club ...... Babe I'm sure there's something missing from your hobbies list xxx
Apart from the biking there is guitar playing gardening skiing in the winter reading and writing cooking woodwork (have made dining room table, bench, chairs, veneered chest of drawers, front door). scuba diving on holiday (not hopping into the lake to see a rusting bicycle) - that is holidays based around scuba diving. also do a variety of swimming, cycling, weight training, mountain walking - all irregularly, but at least something of some description is done regularly. Franky, I don't really have time to go to work.
