Been heading over once a week for this since and looking at going over for the second lunchtime session. Amazing the workout from a one hour block of matches without impacting riding!
Found paddling a great workout too but haven't been getting out due to the hassle of getting the kayak to the river. Therefore I'm planning on joining a local kayak club this July so I can store my K1 down at the river in the boat shed. That way I can ride my bicycle to the river for a pre-work session, as I find other than taking time from bike training it doesn't impact my riding physically and is a great core and upper body workout that is neglected with on bike only training.
20 years...yeah, I know. It seems that a lot has changed since I was participating in the sport.
I've been curios about badminton. I've seen some guys play seriously and it was impressive.
