MY HOBBIES

Cycling and Mountain Biking

I spend as much time as I can riding my bikes, currently a 2009 Gary Fisher Hifi Pro 29er MTB, 2008 Gary Fisher Rig 29er Single Speed MTB, 2007 Mongoose Canaan Elite MTB, 2007 Giant OCR-C2 Carbon Road Bike, and a Cruzbike Silvio Recumbant. I'm usually riding with the Plano Bicycling Assocation riders on Saturdays. Monday thru Friday you might find me out at Rowlett Creek Preserve tearing up the singletrack. I also frequent Erwin Park, NorthShore, and Oak Cliff Nature Preserve.

Kayaking

I'm active in the DFW Paddlers Group and you'll usually find me attending the multiday activities in my Hurricane Tracer 165 Kayak

Working out at the Gym / Pilates

Five days a week you'll find me at 24 Hour Fitness (Allen or Frisco) and the Don Rodenbaugh Natatorium Gym. I enjoy the Pilates, Yoga, 24 SET, Spin, Nautilus Machines and Elliptical Machines.

Photography

I love taking photos of Nature with my Canon 40D. I've been to Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Yosemite and Cascades National Parks with it. I use 4 lenses currently, a Canon 70-200m IS USM F2.8, Sigma 28-70 F2.8, Sigma 15-30 Aspherical, and a Sigma 135-400 lens.

Classic Car Restoration

I have a 1969 Camaro and a 1963 Chevy II Nova that I love working on, restoring, and fine tuning. I hope to also own a first generation Corvette in the future once I have a large workshop to play in.

Remote Control Model Airplanes

I have 5 planes, including a P51 Mustang, 36" WingWarrior E-Zipper, a 25" WingWarrior E-Scrappy, a Dave's Foamies P51 Mustang, and an Extra 300. When the weather allows I like to find a large field and fly them.

Music and Movies

Can this be considered a hobby? I love listening to music, from all genres, and especially love going to live concerts. I'm also a big Netflix fan and and always looking for a 5 star movie recommendation, got one I haven't seen?
