second sport

[Salad Dodger]

I used to be a keen kayaker and open canoeist, but cycling is now my main activity.

Partial to a bit of fishing from time to time, though.

Curling and Rowing.

Curling gets a lot of slagging, but it is one of these sports where there is a LOT more to it than meets the eye (rowing too in fact).

Yup thats was me too , wing chun/ mma till i was injured , shoulder would ache for 2 weeks after a session and that's why i had to rationalize and put keeping my job and supporting the family etc etc before personal gain.

Martial arts for me too but Shotokan karate in my case.

Not really a sport but Climbing / Hillwalking has been my total obsession SEE LINK,

Martial Arts - Did kickboxing for 15 years, then started karate after having my youngest, been teaching for the last 4 years..
I represented the UK in the World Cup 3 years ago (But i'm a big softy really)
When I was younger I also swam in the UK schools team

Wow.....fantastic photos.


I guess cycling is kinda my 'second sport' - it was athletics (hurdles) at school for me, and i followed athletics a lot as a kid - it was the 1984 olympics that inspired me.... And i guess i know more about athletics than any other sport.
But, stupidly, i gave that up when i left school, so cycling is the only sport i do now, apart from walking when i get the change to escape the city for a bit.
Am also a footy fan (arsenal) and played a bit at uni and after, but i'm not an avid follower. I generally know who's playing who and what's going on the premier league, but that's about it.
And yes, i'm a girlie who does know the offside rule!

Cycling was my number 1 sport when I was young. I then got into dinghy sailing and orienteering when I joined the Army. To get fit for orienteering I got more into running and ran the London Marathon a few times. Then, after a back injury I did very little sport between the age of 37 and 47. To lose weight and get healthy I got back into cycling a couple of years ago and have now become obsessional! The only other sport I do is indoor rowing on the Concept2 rower. I don't really enjoy this, but it is fantastic exercise. I am currently aiming to finish 1 million metres in a year; the season finishes at the end of April and I am some way behind.

[Silver Fox]

I studied Karate / Jiu-Jitsu on and off for many years but as my recovery times from injuries increased ( with age ) I decided to hang up my gi.

These days cycling is my number one sport supplimented by swimming and general gym work.

 

[zacklaws]

No 1 Fishing
No 2 Cycling
No 3 Bowls (lawn)

But as it is easier to just get out for a bike ride than load the car with all my tackle for a few days, I cannot be bothered as a rule going for a day or a night, I spend more time cycling.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

I don't "do" cycling as a sport. It's transport to me.
