Other activities ?

[Velgreeno]

Hey folks. Just wondering what other interests you all have outside VWs ?. For me its fitness, surfing, music etc .

 

[K@rlos]

Good music, going the pub and gym/powerlifting although that’s been knocked on the head for several weeks due an injured rotor cuff

Road cycling takes up most of my free time.
I like music, go to a few gigs, buy some vinyl (guitar/indie, soul, motown, 60's stuff etc).
I have a scooter too which gets ridden infrequently.
House/garden/family takes the rest and I like a holiday

Very much into music myself, (rock, blues, punk, americana,etc) i usually see live bands at least once a week, into vinyl, cds.
Two Alfa Romeo's and a Triumph Vitesse keep me fairly busy too.

I like any music really, but especially classical and folk. I suppose my main interest out of VW's is hill walking which I like to do as often as I can. I am also a bit of a film fanatic and enjoy re-watching classic movies as well as new ones.

I’ve been a lifelong cyclist. But prefer to surf when possible. About to start indoor climbing again with my son. After that … it’s diy,drinking good beer with friends and music.

I must admit i do like a good bike ride too. Especially along a canal or headland. I cant say i go to a pub any time really because i dont actually drink at all (shock horror ha) and i guess you could say im t total. Plus i drive everywhere. Im about to up my game with my fitness though over the winter and i do have a goal to get back to so focussing on that. As for my own family, i dont have any so its all me ha .

Another cyclist here been doing it all my life - BMX in the 80s, then mountain biking, then probably for the last 15 years, road. I joined a club about 5 years ago, which adds a bit of structure and means I've always got someone to go out with. Probably go once or twice a week, total up to about 140k. Also spend quite a bit of time with family, chilling in the kitchen cooking stuff and drinking wine and beer. I got into surfing about 10 years ago and try and get away to Devon/Cornwall a few times a year, I've not really done enough of it to be that good, but I enjoy it. Also run and go to the gym a couple of times a week to try and fight the aging process! I'm hoping to go on more surf trips as my kids are both at uni from next week and I'll have a lot more time on my hands.

Another cyclist (road/off road/some bmx)/gig goer/crate digger/footy fan here. One grankid arrived this July and another expected in November. Don't expect to have much time for myself in the next ten years +

Just me and the mrs, we don't really know anyone around here but we enjoy historical stuff, visits to old castles and stately homes around the UK, there's so much in this country to see. Trips to London etc. I've got 2 kids as well from prev relationship so have them every other weekend. In between its just us.
We use search4sites and pub stops overnight which is actually really good and keeps the travelling costs sensible.
I've just fitted a kitchen (took a few months actually) and then in the new year onto fixing the bus which died on way home last year. That'll take up loads of time but once done want to try to meet up a bit more.
Love classic cars, I used to run car shows for charity. Try to trade forex as well.
