Bored in the saddle...

Sometimes I go house-scouting...I'll keep an eye open for all the houses for sale and check them out.

Haha I like that one.

Ride on a Sunday, visit as many "open-house" as possible. See the face of the real estate agent when you walk on the freshly polished floor with your cleats... oops!

Oh...no, no. I just ride by, grab the flier out of the little box on the for sale sign, that kind of thing. It is kind of an excuse to go down a side road if I see a for sale sign yonder!

Interesting suggestions, thanks. Especially touring some of the smaller islands. Can't do Orcas or the other San Juans (getting medical insurance for the U.S. is a must and an expensive hassle, and I dont have a passport anyway), but I haven't ridden the Gulf Islands since the 70's. After 40 years of riding the roads and trails on this area, there isn't much left to discover. I'll definitely have to consider the Gulf Islands.
After a couple of post-ride beers, it occured to me that one could combine riding with geocaching. Many caches are located just off/beside the trails, so it might be an interesting combination. Cyclocaching. Hmmm. I won't be racking up as many km's as I'd like, but it would add a little something to riding.

Hey PN, if you have access to the bikejournal fourms (you might need to register, but registering is free), there's a guy from Lithuania with the handle ly2kw who combines geocaching with riding.

He posts quite regularly on the "07 Metric Club (...)" thread, with lots of nice photos of his adventures.

Thanks. Yes I'm on Bike Journal under Popoki_Nui (and making my usual paltry contribution to TE ). I did a quick sniff around for the Lithuanian guy; didn't find him yet but I'll try again. Maybe this will be a new fad (maybe it already is!)

I listen to books on tape while cycling on paths with no vehicular traffic. I can still hear people etc - without them I get bored out of my head. I download them from Audible.com (but now there are several other online download services)
