So now that my first hobby of breaking bones has been cleared here is the immediate aftermath of when my massive Central Apneas began.
I think the doctor had me pretty stoned by the time this pic was taken.
So as to hobbies? I am a bit obsessive compulsive so I try to do everything that has ever seemed like fun. Technical ice climbing has to be the most demanding of them all.
Rock climbing with pretty girls on 900 foot cliffs. Hard to find anything bad to say about that.
So what do you do on your rest days between ice climbs? Ride skinny sticks down slippery hills.
O.K. so you gotta stay in shape so what better way than riding your bicycle. When my parents gave me my first bike as a kid may as well been a crack pipe and a bag of $100 bills.
After a long breakaway of working together to squash the pack a deal was struck between me and this guy who worked hard to not try to outsprint each other for the finish line. We worked hard to keep the wolves of the peloton behind us thus we finished in a dead heat. I like playing with grown ups who put honor and dignity before victory. Plus it really screws up the awards ceremony.
Gotta ride the dirt. This was a long decent from 14,000 feet elevation to 9,000 feet in Huraz, Peru.
Opps, over the handlebars.
And yes, I did just crawl out from under a rock...
Just one of these in case it is offensive but my most participated in for longest period of time hobby.
Since this is getting really long I will finish it up with motorcycles for the moment. I enjoy building them as much as riding. All the following pics are of me on a bike I built ground up.
Opps, better not close this out without giving all the credit for a life well lived to my Lord and Savior. No matter what continent, country or area, we manage to get ourselves in church most Sundays.
If I have not bored y'all to death and want to see more there are a lot of different experiences in my life to share. God blessed me with the foresight to travel and play while I was young as tomorrow is never guaranteed. So we played hard, traveled far, gave God the glory for it and enjoyed the beautiful earth he has given us to occupy. What happened to the Garden of Eden? Why its all around us everyday if we look.
Mountaineering runs a very close second if not even tie for first in the hobby department. It is actually more of a lifestyle than hobby.
Rock climbing of course is the one that started it all and my original love. I passed up backstage tickets to Pink Floyd concert, dates with pretty girls, decent jobs and all sorts of stuff.
