Aside from being a committed cyclist, what's your next biggest hobby?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The transmitter has a timer. You find how long it will run at full throttle and set the timer for a minute less.
You are not at full throttle all the time so you have a pretty good pad. Besides we take the boat most of the
time and launch from the boat. The electrics have a fail safe and go to idle when the battery gets to a certain
point. Gives you a minute or so to get back. Also do sail boats. No problems getting them back, some times
it takes a few minutes to maneuver.



Five feet long, two feet wide, nine feet tall, 68lbs.


With the heavy weather sails.

Wouldnt really consider it a hobby per se, but I love collecting/wearing old school Chuck Taylor canvas shoes(the ones with the black tags on the back, not the current white ones). I have 9 different pairs/colors. They wear excellent, and are very comfortable. They can get quite pricey, as they dont make the black tag ones anymore(havent for about 30+ yrs).
