Cycling was in third place behind football (soccer, if you must) and running. Then I bust my groin and ankle in the same season... so cycling is now primary and running secondary and I've had to retire from football.

Squash! It's not related or complementary to cycling at all. Although I suppose stronger legs and core translate to some power on the return (but only if you're positioned well enough to get the torso-twist in there!). Truth be told, however, I haven't played much over the past year, but I'm really looking forward to knocking that little ball around this fall when I have better court access.

Rugby, Kayaking, running, and in the winter I telemark-ski about 130 days a winter.
It's a tough life being me, it really is.

Exactly. Modestly captioning that photo with a "Central California" tag was like captioning a photo of Everest as "a mountain in Asia."

I would love to get into this sport. I just don't have the money. However, my wife and I just put our house on the market and we're downsizing so all of our money doesn't go to house payments. Perhaps in a year or two I can get into this sport - I'll be age 50.

In my youth, cycling and rock climbing competed for my attention. After a cycling accident I stopped exercising altogether for 8 years. I'm getting back into shape and wondering if I should get back into climbing. It scares me - not the climbing itself - but that I'll love it again. My life is hectic enough that I don't need another sport to occupy my time. That, and the fact that my wife would "hate" me to climb again. However, looking at that photo makes me want to jump on the rock again. BTW, where is that route? It looks a little familiar.

I have wanted to try kayaking for a while. There is a place called the Back Bay which is an inland salt water cannal about 15 minute from me. I am not too sure which kayak to buy but the Sea Eagle 370 or the one of the Explorer series seems like a good choice.

My other sports include rowing and tennis, although I may not be rowing anymore since I don't like our coach.

Definitely drinking beer and playing pool. I'm pretty good at both.
I lift 2-3 times I week but because I do it for personal fitness i'm not sure if it can be considered a sport. I also enjoy playing basketball recreationally.

Two sports:
Lifting arm weights. However I don't actually own arm weights so I use beer cans instead.
I'm taking up another sport this year, Running (after women or away from someone's husband). Of course, the bike can come in handy during these episodes.
