are you good folks that populate this virtual space so mad keen on cycling that you have no time for hobbies, or are we a diverse bunch that covers every interest in britain today.?
for starters, i like to grow the worlds hottest chilli peppers and later in the year will make sauces & pickles from my crops. none are ripe yet, but here's some of last years.
I walk. (Used to run, until wrecked femur/patella problems caused by motor-bike accident in my youth put paid to that, which is kinda what brought me to cycling.)
I cook and bake. I do lot of preserving, too.
(Hubgearfreak: I used to make a wonderful smoked chilli sauce.)
I eat.
I eat food made with chillies!
I would like to get back to dancing salsa. Or maybe learn jive or ceroc.
I also love going to the theatre and cinema and gigs.
Ummm .. think that's about it.
eta: Your chillies look wonderful, Hubgearfreak!

play squash badly a couple of times a week outside the rugby season
referee Rugby Union slightly less badly - three times a week during the season
play electric bass in a band and in church
Photography - I find it goes well with cycling too (except the squables for my wages between one hobby and the other!)
