What else do you do?

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

Drink

I have been playing my lovely new guitar and jamming online using ninjam (whilst also drinking)

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.

Not much, but then I do fear that i am slowly going mad.

Spend time with wreckerjnr (my favorite thing). Rugby. Spot of boxing every now and again. Barbeque.

I’m studying geology.

Other than that, I listen to music, go to gigs, go for walks, play the guitar, drink.

I argue on the Internet.

No you don’t.

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.

Have wild, rampant sex

Does your wife know
It does not count if you are on your own

2) do martial arts
3) Bake cakes and lots of
4) Make bread very often from sourdoughs
5) theatre

I’ve been playing a Mexican Strat this evening (because it makes less noise unplugged than my thinline Tele so Madame tolerates me noodling whilst watching TV), what’s yours Adam?

I tend to spend my time dreaming and generally do sod all cycling at the moment!! 🙄

Make music using a variety of instruments.

At the moment learning to use my TE OP-1.

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)
