What are your hobbies apart from tech?

I used to play cricket, football and golf but I'm to old for the first two and never have time to play golf these days. I read a lot of books and listen to music whilst I'm sat on a plane. I also like reading the new scientist especially the quantum mechanics articles.
 
Photography has taken over from clay pigeon shooting and airsofting recently.

It's just a shame that I'm way better shooting things with guns than I am with a camera.

PC gaming when I have a few spare hours, though I despair of ever finishing my XCOM Long War campaign.

I have a motorcycle stashed away that will see the light of day again at some pony in the future too...
 
Running.

Only being able to write that down think I need to take up a few more. Although it does take up 5-6 evenings a week.
 
Weight training, tinkering with sports cars, track days, and snowboarding (not as often as I'd like).

I am growing out of clubbing & boozing these days.
 
Various sports;

Football, golf, cycling, running, snowboarding.

Other than that, gaming, playing the guitar (learning), walking.

Motorbike golfing. Now that sounds like fun.

I've been racking my brain for a puny joke from this but can't work one out that sort of works so I'll leave the ingredients....

Something linked to the golf swing where you do arm swings and the swing arm of a motorcycle.
 
RC Helicopters are my main hobby. This means I sometimes fly planes and multi-rotors, but it's rare.
It's well over a year since I flew my planes.

I play guitar and drums.
I collect twisty puzzles.
I would collect watches, but I have expensive tastes and no money to buy them due to spending it on helicopters.
 
Cycling (road & mountain bo)
Mountain walking/climbing
Running
Writing
Reading
Board gaming.

Actual geeky computer time takes up very little of my free time.

Does your bike break a lot ?:confused:

not so much fixing, just maintaining. it's more like the other way round but sometimes it feels like it takes a lot of time when something actually breaks and needs replacing.

it's about every 5th ride or so it gets a good 2-3 hour service, clean and polish, drivetrain de-grease re-grease, brakes cleaned, cables checked, gears adjusted if needed etc etc.
 
I have many hobbies. All of which consume my hard earned cash !

Cars tinkering on, Motorcycles riding, MotoGP watching, Boxing (watching not participating) Detailing cars which I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to trying out different products. Cycling, road and off-road, but mainly road. RC Cars upgrading. Home Theatre. This is outside of tech, which sadly as i get older my interest is declining. I'm sure it'll come back eventually maybe. But for now, I much prefer doing things outside the comp world such as in the garage or out on my bike (pedal or powered)
