other outdoor activity
just wanted to know how many long distance hikers also enjoy other outdoor activity,i love long distance backpacking,but i also enjoy,long distance kayaking and cyclingneo
I enjoy mountain biking but have more fun in the winter when I am snowboarding. I am also a big fan of sailing. Both of these sports should have been included.
I like to snow ski, although I don't get much of a chance anymore in middle Tennessee....

When not playing in the woods I can usually be found either hiking on a golf course or digging for gold in the arizona desert.
thank God for kayaks
since my hiking days are yet again put on hold.....x-ray last week on left knee says more surgery....funny i'm not as depressed as when i was dealing with the plantar fascitis and the knee thing has a far worse potential outcome...i guess i've finally accepted the fact that for some of us you can only hike for so long......
Start out slow, then slow down.
I put down "other;" middle and long-distance running (well, jogging) are my main sports. In some ways the two sports have a lot in common.

Jogging, cycling, tennis, downhill skiing, X-C skiing, telemark, ice skating, canoeing, rafting, frisbee, basketball, soccer, rock climbing, kayaking, surfing, racquetball, squash, etc. If it's active, count me in. I'm currently trying to learn windsurfing. Gotta keep moving as you get older, it adds years to your life expectancy and enjoyment to the time that you have left. Carpe diem.

I play soccer. It's practically a religion for me...
Cycling and rugby for me.
Golf, horseshoes, and running. Biking on the Creeper. Riding my Harley.
I voted "other not mentioned" because there was no "all of the above".
Some of the "other things" I do: Mt bike, road bike, climb, rapell, canoe, horseback ride, fish, swim, water ski, snorkel, cross country ski, roller blade, ice skate, etc.

No option for me
Where's the downhill ski option? That's the number two for me behind backpacking/hiking.
I lived in Vancouver this past winter, which is ideal as it's only a 2 hour drive from Whistler/Blackcomb. Let's just say that my grades suffered a little in the winter semester

Just got into Mtn biking seriously here helps me get in better shape for hiking or vice versa.
