I ride as often as possible, I avoid tracks and concentrate on single track. Riding bud and i are considering taking trials riding lessons next year. We both ride modified KTMs, modified to be quiet and lessen trail damage. A fun day for us involves finding places a mountain goat would be wary of and finding crazy hard lines to conquer the mountain. Off the beaten path is the motto we ride by. I am a cartographer/surveyor and he's a dentist, makes for an odd team, tho his dead reckoning skills are insane good. We keep a GPS with us in case we get too frisky and get turned around. I have 5k+ miles on my KTM and all but 300-400 are from trails that most people would not dare walk on. If it looks impossible we are all over it.

Nice to see a fellow bass head here. I'm guessing you are over on SSA?
Gardening! It's one of the main reasons I've chosen to live in a rural area all these years. I learned the love of gardening from my Mom as a kid and have had a green thumb ever since. I enjoy growing things; pretty much everything from flowers, shrubs and trees, to fruit, berries and vegetables.
As far as hobbies go, I guess it's primarily the vegetable garden. I've always thought of it as a hobby that pays for itself but it's become much more than that. About two years ago I went to the trouble of calculating an estimate of the value of the produce coming from my garden and realized that the organic produce I grow between May and September (edit: early November actually, I forgot about the kale & Brussels sprouts) would cost between $1500 and $2000 (perhaps more) and is of a quality and freshness you just can't buy in a store even at the local farm stands or farmer's markets. I manage to grow several hundred pounds of apples, pears and blueberries as well.
One of the gardens. There are several.
Traded these with a neighbor who raises rabbits.
