Other than biking:

As many of you know i produce a lot of pictures using photoshop, becoming more of a business rather than a hobby now which is where i wanted to go with it I also do a lot of photography and hoping to take some courses in it soon, just trying to find the right one that will suit what i am looking for.

Another hobby is running the dogs.... a little video here We're training up for our first Rally, its a 3 or 4 mile run got a long way to go as we are only running about 2 miles non stop at the moment.

I also do a lot of work for Alaskan Malamute Rescue, recent stuff has been making fund raiser t-shirts which have sold like hot cakes lol. some recent designs:







I will be getting more involved with rescue, when i am needed, doing home checks (which basically involves an interview with the prospective owners and taking my mad mutt round there and setting him loose on them lol).

We also go camping quite a lot, last weekend we were in the New Forest with the Malamutes did an 11 or so mile walk on the Saturday, so Walking has become a bit of a hobby too. On a good day we do between 3 and 5 miles... depending on where we go. Less so now Lupo is in training as he just doesn't need the extra walks after running on the rig/scooter.

Other normal hobbies include reading, playing computer games, going to the cinema, but my favourite activity out of everything i do.... is snuggling up on the sofa with my gorgeous blokie watching a good movie and drinking a nice glass of red wine and eating popcorn

Well, other than bikes and tinkering my other hobbies are:

My guitar, it's a 1979 Ibanez Artist which i've owned for roughly 10 years now, but have been playing around 17 years.

Military history, mainly World War one & two, the weapons, the politics causes and effects etc.
I'm also interested in Medieval history, the crusades and ancient Rome etc.

Ancient Egypt, only been interested in that since I travelled there, Luxor/Thebes.

Guns & militaria, used to belong to a gun club, but then they all got shut down, all I can do now is polish my deactivated AK74M and read about them.

Languages, used to learn Japanese but now slowly learning German.

PC gaming, though can't play for long at the moment due to developing a bit of RSI in my index finger, been playing since I got my spectrum+2.

Cosmology and the universe, such an amazing subject and mindblowing, like:
There's a massive area of emptyness in space that's just been discovered that is 1 billion light-years across (no stars, planets, no anything) .
It'd take light 1 billion years to travel across that distance, light travels @ roughly 186,000 miles per sec.
One light-year is roughly 6 trillion miles, that area of emptyness is roughly equal to 6 billion-trillion miles or 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of 'absolute' emptyness, big eh?...

And some other stuff...

Alot of my time was taken up aimlessly wandering around mountains n woods n stuff with my dog - injury has kinda put that very much on the back-burner for the past couple of years. The same with archery, LRP, climbing, greenlaneing, climbing trees andn mooching round the market.

I like history - any history, but particularly military - but that's more of an interest than a hobby - one fueled by TV and books.

My leatherworking started out as a hobby, but now pays the bills - luckily I still enjoy it just as much.

My passion for horses and riding (from childhood) has resurfaced and I'm taking that one to University - hopefully going to combine it with the leatherworking and history in the future and move into making historic saddlery/harnesses/barding etc.

My greatest hobby for total relaxation, unwinding and getting the troubles of the world to bugger off for a bit is still working with my bonsai trees. It's artistry, horticulture and meditation all rolled into a twiggy little package.
Though it has been an indication of, personally, an overall 'good' year in that I've left them get a bit neglected of late.

I love books - not just reading them, but books as 'things' and collect old & unusual ones when I can both find them and afford it. Pride of place going to my first and second 'Indian Paper' editions of Lord of the Rings & my leatherbound version of The Watchmen.

I really ought to start sketching again too, but just don't find the time.

Work 6 or 7 days a week so it doesn't leave a lot of time for hobbies.
Go out for a drink once a week..... Thats about it

Gaming (PC, Xbox, PS3, you get the picture.)
3d graphics, visualisation and special fx. Have made a little money doing this recently but it's very time consuming.
Drawing, painting (traditional and digital).
Bodybuilding and running.
