I'm sick of all this euro stuff and I need inspiration for my dull and boring life.

What do you do other than cycling to stop yourself going mad?

The desire to hoof it off on a motorbike is strong, but a little blue eyed angel just learning to say daddy is kyboshing that (and the wife putting her foot down a bit too) - but then i'm sure that's just a midlife crisis

Slaughter small furry animals. And finned ones, too. Eat most.
Ski.
Sail.
Brew beer.
Make bread.
Read books.
Cruciverbalism.
Watch, and waffle about, a lot of rugby.
Two utterly perfect little people to make me laugh, smile, and feel proud. Oh, and have less time to do any of the above. Wouldn't be without them, though.

When your little one gets a bit older you will have a great companion for adventures. I had a great time in Caernarfon with my daughter in the half term just gone - Zipworld, Snowdon, mountain railway and crabbing in the harbour. It is going to be a sad day when she starts wanting to do stuff without me 🙁

I do not do much other than cycling as a hobby. Watch a few football games, try to learn programming, watch occasional bands and theatre. Thinking of joining my local roadie club.

Apologies for rambling

Work, Wife and Kids, Ride that's pretty much it at the moment. Occasionally play computer games, but 2-3 times a month, probably watch too much TV but there's good TV these days.

Youngest is getting a bit less demanding all the time, slowly getting some time back, not complaining though.

Snap 😉 well one of my *ahem* 12 guitars is! Nice bits of kit...have you upgraded anything on it? I've swapped out the neck pickup for a P90, put better tuners on, and installed an N-tune (tuner that replaces one of the volume pots)

Rallying. If I'm not out filming for tv programs then I do some co-driving which I'm enjoying more and more. Got back the other week from doing the Safari Rally in Kenya, this weekend it's a single venue event with a new driver doing his first ever rally, at Anglesey Circuit. Life could be worse!

If I had any sort of musical ability then I'd like to learn the guitar. Sadly never going to happen.
