So many wonderfully talented people here! I have hobbies that besides biking include spinning (lol), photography, dabbling in PhotoShop, and travel. BUT, I have a passion, which is camels.

I'm the groom for 14 camels, both Bactrian and Dromedary, and care for them once to twice weekly. They are a huge part of my life and are the subjects of most of my photography. One of my goals is to travel wherever I can to ride them in different countries (Egypt so far and working on others). My avatar needs to be updated, but it's one of my Christmas cards showing my favorite Bactrian.

My hobbies: flower gardening, working in the yard, reading, sailing, running, kayaking (don't do it enough), fitness/weight training, reading/posting to computer forums/doing email/researching stuff on the web, following my favorite TV shows, online shopping, selling on ebay.

Not my hobbies: Cooking. Cleaning. Entertaining. Getting up early.

I just love football ,and spend my Sundays watching the games all day (after I take a long bike ride).

Hey SuzieQ how are you doing, nice to see you!

[ASammy1]

How does everyone find the time to explore all of these different hobbies??? I'm so jealous of all of you! I work full time and travel a lot for my job, so just fitting in time to get some exercise can be tough!

[limewave]

Biking is my hobby! I agree . . . where does everyone find the time?

When I retire, these will be my hobbies as they were before marriage, work, children:

Photography
Drawing
Reading
Writing
Tennis (Oh, how I miss Tennis)
Volleyball

reading, writing, history(sorta goes with the previous ), and 'puters (hey that sound like work!

[deedolce]

Very cool to read what everyone does!

My latest obsession is wire wrapping. This one is called 'The Way the Winds Blew on Wednesday' after my bf went riding and was complaining that no matter how he turned, he was always riding into a headwind! The stone is Rainforest Jasper


I started wrapping because another hobby is being a rockhound and doing lapidary. This is an Ocean Jasper cabochon I did:


I also love to spin, knit (working on Mermaid fingerless gloves), dye fibers and yarn, sew, grow heirloom tomatoes, and play competitive tennis.

Ha, in my local cycling club, my girlfriend have just started a Cycling/Knitting club! Once a month, we meet at a local coffee shoip with our knitting projects and talk bikes. So much fun!

Alpacas are cool. Talking of fiber bearing animals, after my dear doggy has lived his lifespan I'm planning on getting a house bunny: a French or German angora.
