Besides mtn biking, any other hobbies?(merged)

What other hobbies do you have other then cycling? I brew beer and fly model aircraft.

I've been brewing beer for about 18 years now and have many awards from comps around the country. I built a brewery in my back yard out of old pool filters and junk yard/surplus parts.

This is what the brewery looked like a few weeks ago, I have moved the control panel into the stand to make it all one unit.

With the brewery I need a way to serve so I built a 6 tap system out of a $50 chest freezer.







Also RC Aircraft - Been flying 8 years but would still pick a day on my bike over a day of flying

 

You need to meet Brewmaster he would love you. My other hobbies include drinking, video games, and fun women

 

other than cycling I like to weight lift, take care of my eels, I used to fly rc planes but i kept having gravity problems. I have a MR. Beer kit i want to start doing but i am affraid of runing it so that keeps holding me back.

Fishing! More specific fishing in the ocean/deep sea. Pier and beach fishing is too boring for me now.

some times cooking

Golf....haven't done that in a long time

and that's about it

 

Just curious what everyone's hobbies are on here..

Photography
Offroading
Cars in general
Firearms
4wheeling

Past hobbies:
Paintballing
R/Cs

 

I've always has too many hobbies so now I'm trying to narrow it down to a few main ones - mountain biking, running, and triathlons.

In the past I've had too many so I never concentrated on just one. I'll still do these but not like I did - softball, basketball, surfing, snowboarding, skatebording, golf, hiking, kayaking, diving, fishing etc. My wife says our garage is like sports chalet.

My other main ones are sword fighting, candyland, wrestling, hide n seek, bedtime stories, tag, and watching backyardigans. OK, the last ones are my kids hobbies, which became mine.

 

way too many. been trying to simplify my life.

I'm going to narrow it down to the following that I can remember right now: snowboarding, hiking/backpacking, guns, cars

 

I used to fly rc helis, but I too had a bit of a gravity problem. just sitting in a box right now. Had better luck with foamie slope gliders. my friends and I would just go out and try to fly into each other's planes for hours. great fun :lol:

 

Too many to list:

Speaker Building, High End Audio, Hiking, Fishing in Mexico, Skiing, Desert Trucks, ATV riding, Bodyboarding/Surfing, SCUBA, Distance Swimming... Can I stop now? #-o

Scuba....Flying real heli's(pray that I don't have the gravity probelms you speak of)

 

Most of my free time is devoted to mountain biking. I start doing pilates about six months ago as a means to strengthen my core and have actually grown to like it. Having an absolutely gorgeous instructor definitely hasn't hurt. Additionally, everybody who's ridden with me likely knows how big of a foodie I am. I guess part of the reason I ride is to be able to enjoy food without having to worry about adding to my girth.

Other hobboes:
Basketball
Anything food related (cooking, dining out, farmer's markets.....)
Coffee Tasting
Capital Markets (now that I'm not working in the industry)

 

Writing, Filming, real estate speculation, reading, MMA, and damn near anything you can do in the back country.

 

Lets see....

Besides mountain biking, I also like road cycling... working in my garage on maintaining and repairing bicycles, bicycle shopping and walking through blicycle stores, browsing bicycle websites and participating in bicycle forums such as this geat forum; reading bicycling books, watching bicycling on TV (there is never enough of it, except on Universal Sports). Oh. Ok I do also like to get involved into things related to training and coaching, of course, only if bicycle related. And of course, my children, I can't tell you how much riding bicycles with them is such an important hobbie.

Nice well rounded set of interests...

Scrapbooking! 8-[8-[

Haha, seriously though. Its a great outlet for my crafty side on a smaller scale and makes GREAT gifts for family.

I'd post some of my work but can't figure out the best way to share it on a site, the pdf's I have are WAY too big to upload/download (ppt.s are even bigger) and looking at each page as a jpg doesn't give the same effect as an entire book.

And anyone have a scanner that scans larger than 11.75" that would let me use it :lol:? Scanning each page 4x and then stitching/feathering in PS is a huge pia!

I have tons of others but I'm prob most passionate about scrapbooking. Except now I think I might start on crafty furniture projects since I got a lot of old furniture left at my new place. And thinking of doing some sort of a mtb mural in my garage...

Other hobbies:
Skiing
Tennis
Hiking
Computer/Tech stuff
Reading
and now starting to get into Mosaics (anyone know of a good place to buy stained glass???)

 

Beer (reading Brew Like a Monk right now and drooling over a Sabco), motorcycles (Ducati), reading and photography. Oh yeah, and I have one a couple of those bikes with the skinny tires that go fast on trainers, er, paved roads.

 

Whitewater Kayaking

Mostly in the Kern area drainage but we do a bit of surf kayaking from time to time.

 

Good food (making it and eating it), beer, wine, hiking, fishing, travelling, reading and sha***ng the wife. That´s about it really

 

Traveling, reading, music, fixing cars, and water sports
