Mountain biking
Whitewater kayaking
Power kiting
Climbing (not very good at it)
Acoustic and electric guitar (not very good)

I seem to occasionally switch between mainly focussing on mountain biking or kayaking. Haven't been kayaking in months at the moment.

...slammed back to a well spent youth, listening to Sound of the Suburbs by the Members in clear vinyl....

Good shout.

Hasn't rained in months.

Which is why biking and kayaking go so well together.

Mountain biking

Don't have time for anything else, and not because I spend a lot of time on the bike. 🙁

Used to be target archery but got bored with it.

@redthunder

I did, and really enjoyed it - Recurve Freestyle Unlimited(?) 15 years since I was shooting so can't remember the classifications. I'd just got a bit bored of archery generally though and am immensely fitter having cycled since.

playing keys in a band - not done much of this lately
my dog - he likes coming with me mtb'ing
making stuff - i have a huge workshop full of cnc mills, lathes, welding kit etc - and i don't really do as much as this as i would like, but it is very satisfying and good for the soul i think.
