I always wanted to get into this sport. Mind If I ask how much one of those carts run $$ Also how fast are you hitting on those straightaways?

Hmm...secondary, tertiary, and after that we just move laterally!
Running! (Vibram Fivefingers for marathon training baby!)
Motorcycling (before college & the baby...but posed for a return soon):


Then bouldering (that's mountain climbing with no ropes, and rarely if ever over 25 feet), swimming (still a newb there), recreational boxing, & snowboarding.

Yeah, I love doing stuff.

I've been doing yoga on and off for about 15 years. I got into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for about 6months, but realised I didn't have enough time for that, riding, Uni, family and work. So I might quit my job.

I used to road race cars on race tracks back in college. I have been doing this since I was 18:

Summit of Mt. St Helens a few weeks ago.

Ah, I used to race back in the day. I raced a few small races a month in the Yamaha KT100 Can/Pipe series'.

Scuba diving





I'm WAY more afraid of traffic than sharks! Some of those people are nuts!

Sport ... singular?

Rowan and I recently bought a canoe and have given it a go a couple times. We just bought a roof rack so hopefully we'll get out for more spins in the canoe on the local, fairly large, lake.

Here's us on a test run with the canoe a few weeks ago ...

But I also enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, weightlifting, walking, hiking, a little bit of something that sort of resembles swimming, and the occasional game of golf.

Lots of cool other hobbies, great pics, especially of the rock climbing. Currently my other sport is Ice Hockey which I play in the fall thru the winter until race season starts. Used to surf but haven't in a while.

before I got into cycling I used to ride motorcycles at the track. I only did trackdays even though I really wanted to dip into club racing. I never did because of the expence. It is SOOO expensive to race and I just didnt have the income to support that. I sold all my motorcycle gear and everything related last year because I couldn't even affort to support my trackday habbit. time off work (here they are always on a weekday), trackday fee's, gas..etc. So I sold it all and exchange my 2 wheels with a motor for 2 wheels powered by me. its DEFINITELY not the same, but it allows me to have some time out for some "me time". considering I have a 3 year old daughter and 1 due here in August, "me time" isn't easy to find. Im hoping that someday I will be able to jump back into the motorcycle thing, but until then I will certainly enjoy the open roads of cycling!

Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Back Packing, and Skiing are all my secondary sports or split primary sports. I think it is just much easier to sneak in miles on a daily basis than any of these other sports, but I love them all equally.

To OP: I too went with a kayak from Dicks during the boat sale a couple of weeks ago. I have had another one for years but this one is is just so easy to throw in the water and go.

To the Climbers: We should arrange a bike to a crag trip. East Coast could go to the Gunks, or Seneca Rocks - West Coast, Joshua Tree or GC...

Edit Didn't realize we needed visual Proof.
One of my favorite shots I took while close to summing Seneca Rocks, WV.

Newest Yak. Total recreation (ease of use)

That's a 125cc shifter kart with a stock Honda CR125 engine. Packages run anywhere from 3.5-10k depending on your budget. Like cycling, spending more many doesn't necessarily make you faster. I run the 125 only at big car tracks like Sears Pt (Infineon) Raceway, Buttonwillow and Laguna Seca (hopefully next year -- their rates are $$$$).

We hit about 105-110mph on our own and add another 5-7 mph with a good draft. We run on real sticky tires that are capable of generating 2-2.5Gs of cornering force...often for 5 seconds at a time at several points on the track. In other words, very tiring! Been doing it since 1994 and I got the bike to help reduce fatigue at the end of long races. It has done wonders for me. Seat time does help tremendously, but it can't match cycling for building the cardiovascular stamina that you need.

I tried getting into a doing tri's... I'm a horrible runner. Not so much my weight or the actual distance, but my piss poor technique. I mash the entire time and I can't seem to train myself to smooth my stride out.

Video games are a sport, right?

311miles

Crossfit and Mountain biking.

Yoga too, but is that a sport?

cod.peace

aikido. Although I have been on hiatus for a few years...but I'll be back at it as soon as the kids are old enough to bring along.
Not me:

We took the new kayaks out on Armuchee Creek for a couple or 3 hours on Saturday. My wife, whom I have not successfully convince to bicycle with me was playing and splashing and had a look of delight in her eyes. Money well spent. We're hooked. Now if I could just afford to buy 6 more for our kids...

Just get 2 more tandems and a babysitter....

Downhilling.

If it counts as a different activity.

And I'm thinking it probably does.

What is up with your pro being pre-clipped? That is just wrong.

nahh

seriously.

Hillbasher

I would have to put both of these ahead of riding, but I spend more time on the bike than on the mountains. Available time dictates such.

That is not pre clipped. That is sport climbing - Where pitons already exist and you just use quickdraws to clip up to em.
Traditional or Lead climbing is where you need to bring passive and active equipment like stoppers and such.
Both of these require falling at least 2x the distance from closest attachment to the surface.

Top roping is having a rope already attached to the highest point of the climb or section and which gives you the safety of not having to fall very far.

valygrl

hahahaha ha ha ha. You might want to go read Freedom of the Hills a few more times until you get it right.

anyway.

hillbasher, don't forget, sport climbing is neither. (j/k, sport climbing is super fun)

Hillbasher

As someone that tied onto the "hot end" of a rope over 40 years ago for the first of MANY times, I know the differences, but climbing is climbing. And doing a route with quickdraws pre-placed is NOT climbing. It is nothing more than a gymnastic exercise. From looking at that picture, I wouldn't be surprised if the bolts were placed on rappel. May as well be indoors, and we all know that is really climbing also, right? But then I see where it is you are from and I can imagine a shortage of real rock for you to climb. Out here in California, we have a couple places you may have heard of, where climbing is done the way it was intended.

P. S. This post is only intended to be in fun, so please do not take offense. Getting out and climbing, of any type, is a great way to spend time outdoors. I just happen to be lucky enough to have lived near some of the best climbing areas in the world. mainly the Sierras and Yosemite Valley. I will admit to not doing much technical climbing any more, mostly peaks like Rainier, Hood, Shasta, Whitney(no, not by the trail), and more summits in the Sierras than I can remember. Being outdoors is the goal, and whatever your poison is, they are all good.
