Kayaking
Field target shooting

Subject to change if someone comes up with a good sustainable option.

MTG, Ultramarathon is a good shout. Tricky to do as well as plenty of riding. Though I have ran the SDW.

I run and ski.

Come the big lottery win I would continue to ride (on and off-road), run, ski more than I do now and take up sailing again (both yachts and dinghies)

Powerboating and motocross - at least that would make my wife think mountain biking was cheap and safe...

When she moans about me buying some XO shifters or a dropper seat post (I know "£50 quid" is a lot for something that just holds your saddle on...) I just leave a copy of Bike Trader lying around.

I'd ski all the time if I could afford it.
I'd like to get *really good* at a martial art, Akido being the current attempt.

Considering how crap I am cycling I suspect I could do pretty much any sport just as well.

Yeah I'd love to do some moderate alpinism.

Does the as well in the question mean also or equally as well? If the later, nothing. Of the things i do, cycling is my strongest. If you mean also, I also do yoshinkan aikido and I'd like to say snowboarding but I actually do more running than snowboarding.

I've just started to learn to horse ride which is fun and I get to do it with my fiance. Strange, it's one of the few sports she's ever been better than me at. I also do a bit of swimming, but NEVER before a ride.

Running, from short fell to really long stuff, fast road to really hard mountains.
Karate.
In fact if it wasn't for my commute I would struggle to call myself a cyclist.

TRAILQUEST !
(nah, only kidding)

honestly - won't be doing any sport without a bike in the near future (except a week or two skiing), but

If I was loaded (had cash and time):

ski loads (I'm OK for a holiday skier and is def my favourite sport - have always wanted to try some planet-raping heli trips and do a whole season)
waterski (used to be just about passable 10-20 yr ago)
race/rally cars (only ever done track days)
learn motocross (I've not ridden a motorbike since I was 13)
I'd have a go at lots though - skydive/base/that crazy glidey thing, maybe climbing though I never really got into it before, sail a bit, shooting guns or bows and arrows, kayaks (think I'm in a poor region for it too), ...

I currently don't have time for:

cricket
golf ( 😳 )
surfing

can't really run any more as I've quite shit ankles from footy, so lots of sports at any decent level are out for me 🙁

Was into archery a few years back but drifted out of it. Would like to get back into it. Am starting an archery club at school in September so probably will.

Just started snowboarding (had a few beginners lessons indoors) and would like to continue that.

Heehee - at some point I think I need to find a sport/hobby that isn't gear-heavy and expensive...

I'm in to snowboarding (all though I wouldn't class it as a sport I'm into) I occasionally go running. I have other hobbys (metal working and rc toys)

I'd probably like to experience crewing some big racing sail boats and driving a fast car on the Nurburgring with that German girl off Top Gear.

Climbing seems quite complementary to cycling- different muscles and skills, some similiar appeals, and can be done indoors when the weather's awful. Swimming's similiar I guess.

Motorbiking I found isn't that compatible, cycling and motorsickles both want to take up the same times in your week.

Judo, done since a wee nipper and still love it though the bruises and abrasions seem to take longer to heal these days.

Snowboarding/Skiing, love boarding but with a nipper about may have to break out 2 planks for a bit to guide him.

If I had more time/money etc would love to sea kayak, skydive and climb as well as the usual dream of Heli Boarding in Alaska.

Would love to have more time to bike as well.

oh and quite fancy racing cars as well.
