Horse riding and playing the drums

what are your other hobbies? or does MTB and riding the world take up most of your free time - interested to see what other fellow bikers enjoy.

    Biking pretty much takes up all my spare time at the moment, use to be into clay shooting and computers before :D
  • Power kite-ing (living next to one of the flattest and biggest beaches in the country i might as well) along with a bit of fell walking and checking out national trust tites n stuff :) s'long as its outdoors i'm not too fussed :)
  • Rugby, a bit of golf, going out with mates, eating, sleeping, gaming (although I'm not someone who sits on there all day everyday :lol:) :D

    Cars (I'm a fully qualified mech although thats not what I do for a living) trying to sort out a track day project car with a good mate of mine over the winter which should be interesting, I play football at least once a week (5 a-side), golf, snooker, gaming (PS3), love my music, think i'm slowly turning into a bit of a fitness freak but not sure how long that will last as i love my food too much!

    PS How do you manage to sleep 12 hours a day?! I wish I had that much time to sleep :cry:

    What kind of reptiles? I used to have some cool lizards, then snakes, not any more though.

    Apart from biking, which never gets boring, snowboarding - not as easy to find time for - last time I went was way too long ago, but going March 2009 with son (he's skiing). Have my eye on a freebord, they look incredibly cool. Maybe next year...
    Used to do a fair bit of photography, but not for a while.
    Still have a ZRX1100 sitting on the drive, if it doesn't sell, maybe I'll be back on it sometime - almost as good as MTBing

    Well believe it or not, I love working, but mostly because I get cranky if I dont do something all day, and I cant ride all the time.
    But I also love my bees (Yes, I'm a beekeeper) and being stung to sh!t is all part of the fun.
    Love walking in the countryside, abit of jogging every now n then and photography when I get the time..

    NOTHING beats being on my bike though, it's a perfect cure for just about anything that exists on this earth, to me anyway.
  • Biking in any way shape or form, RUGBY!, alcomohol (lots of), going out with mates, spending time with girlfriend, a couplel of hours sleep a day (though only had 6 since wednesday and been working all day every day and drinking both nights), camping, hiking, being outside, and fixing up my car in time for driving the damn thing

  • Wife (gorgeous). Kids (difficult). Food (mediterranean). Wine (red). Photography (Pentaxian). Music (all kinds, but mainly rock and metal). Football (the mighty Championship pub team that is Doncaster Rovers). Hillwalking. Spain. Tattoos.
    I am considerably more rock and roll than you.

    Road. Mountain. Up hill and down dale...

    Simon Marples. Think he plays for Chester now. Used to have a kick about on the school field with him!
  • Marps? Now there was a quality right back, he could catch pigeons that fella! Tell him from me that he remains a favourite ex-player for many a Rovers fan. Very highly thought of, by a lot of fans, but especially from the Mainstand Gobshites (the group of nutters that used to stand behind the away bench and harangue the away team's manager and substitutes at Belle Vue!). It just ain't the same at the new place...

    Aye, old Marps! Think he has moved out now, his parents still there though, and see him turn up in a new car every month or so lol.

    Spending time with my girlfriend comes first but other than that I am very lucky in that she shares some of my hobbies and just lets me get on with others;

    sailing,
    motorbikes,
    windsurfing,,
    snowboarding/skiing,
    taking photos (but i wouldnt really call what I do photography),
    games,


    and probably last but not least (and you can call me sad if you like) to de-stress i still build plastic models, but highly detailed ones at that...
