What are your other interest?
« on: June 19, 2015, 01:51:05 PM »
Title say it all. I know that most who post here ride because its a great hobby or sport. I personally ride for health and to reduce stress.  So what other hobbies does every one have if any. I'll start. Mine is flying. Low time pilot of 3 years and about 150 hrs. I bought in to this shortly after i got my ticket. Its old, but well maintained. She flies great.

How many bikers + bike can travel in your plane ?

Well... I guess that says it all about my other current hobbies :)

Hum funny thing you mention this.  I can remove the rear seat and then have room two 29" chinners with the front wheels removed. In all with full fuel tanks i could carry two carbon bikes with two 175 lb people with about 200 lbs to spare.  This is great for camping gear and such.  This would give me  about 4.0 hr of flying.  Of course you can always stop for fuel along the way. Problem is there aren't many flying destinations that you could camp and then ride. I wish there were. There are quite a few places you could land and camp though.

Cool thread. Mine is downhill skiing and traveling. Don't travel as much as I like though. Foamman1, where are you located? There is a small airport near Sugarloaf ski area In Maine that has trails right there.

In the summer I play a lot of golf. Maybe even more golf than riding. In the winter I Snowboard.

^^Wow! Those are really good, Byrt. Clicked the link not expecting much, but those are some really striking photos. Btw, if I was to be a photographer, I think I'd definitely choose the same subject matter as you  ;)

My other hobbies are nutrition and wannabe bodybuilding. Unfortunately, BB and biking don't really mix that well together, so I've spent the last ten years going back and forth between the two. I'm just now getting to where I feel I strike a nice balance between them.

Mine is windsurfing and snowboarding. Good combination for the summer and the winter. And biking the whole year through. The rest of the family (wife, 11 yr daughter, 6 yr son) doing the same sports.
And when I'm not sporting, I like to create software, which is also my work.

Never done it but would love to try it.

Flyboarding also looks insanely fun:
