You want the full list?

Mostly climbing at the moment more than biking this year, and quite a bit of kayaking, also orienteering back when my knee last worked properly. Also cycling with less than the usual complement of wheels.

This is currently bleeding money out of my wallet in ways MTB could only dream about.

Spent this afternoon installing some new drillium.

It seems all of my free time is spent cooking, running my teenage twins to various sporting activities and part time jobs... she plays netball and coaches a junior team, he plays for Huddersfield RUFC and West Yorks District. I coach HRUFC U17s and am admin manager for the West Yorks U17s squad.
Dog walking, bike fettling.
Game shooting through the season, vermin shooting during the summer.

They turn 17 next week and have been given an old banger by their granny, so with any luck we may get a bit of time back from the constant taxiing. Although I also suspect I may spend some time refereeing whose turn it is to use the car.

Nope, but I suspect the majority of the job is far less exciting than people think.

[Proper] Enduro racing has taken a lot of my time this year.

Other than that, work and sleep seem to take up most of my remaining time.

Cycling, kickboxing, gym, squash and off road motorcycling on a regular basis.
Occasional rugby, golf, clay shooting and fishing.

Genuinely not enough days in the week for the other hobbies I'd like to have.
Need to win the lottery.

Stock car racing, both watching and driving, spedeworth superstox if you're interested or fancy a google.
Slotstox racing (scaletrix version of the stock car) Sad but keeps me from being a complete pisshead on a friday night.
Boxing
Fixing and maintaining the stock car seems to take a lot of time up.
Drinking

And in case you were wondering, single life does allow you to do lots of hobbies which take lots of time 😀

Windsurfing and road riding here.

Spend most of my time road riding at the moment, it's just easier to sneak in a quick blast.

Spent 20 years windsurfing in the main, with MTB as a something to do when it wasn't windy.
Now MTB is my main interest.
Hillwalking, snowboarding, flying power kites and surfing, all feature to one degree or another.
Drinking and eating feature all too highly.
More mundane stuff includes making bits n bobs for mates VW van interiors.

Running
Football

You people musn't have jobs, partners or children with all these activities. I haven't played football since June or been on my bike much this year. Running has taken over as it's so much more accessible and needs nearly zero maintenance. MTB is miles more fun though.

I walk on the moor most weekends with the family, surf when I can and do the odd bit of trail running.

In addition to day job, I'm also a retained firefighter - fitting work, family life and that together doesn't leave a lot of spare time if I'm honest.

Road riding is the main one, the MTB barely gets used any more.

Occasionally play a bit of football as well but it's been a while since I laced up my boots.
