Susan I wish I would have know you were going to WV and needed bikes, I would have gotten you some to use. I still keep a house about 20 miles from New River/hawks nest area, I grew up in the area, and have around 500 acres of land there with 3 building on it, with a few bikes..even a tandem!!

Hey, that would have been cool. But we will definitely be back!

i spend 8 to 9 months a year distracting myself with various activities- including being a husband and a father of two - to only completely immerse in cross country skiing the rest of the year. we go at least once a year to switzerland for vacation and family stuff. guess where i spend my time when we are there :) oh yeah i do work but much prefer music, history and political science.
:D

I like long walks on the beach, a good bottle of Kazakhi vino, romantic dinners for 3, a female partner, and my good mate Hermaphroditus, Enron, Reb Lodster, and romcom movies starring Megan Ryan

I'm a traveling fool; I'm very fortunate to have cycled and golfed on every continent except Antarctica. I love music; Radiohead in concert is a thing of beauty and mystery - gives me chills just thinking about it. I would love to be a chef, but my penchant for precision has made baking a better choice. While not a professional pastry chef, I have the skill, tools, and kitchen to make gorgeous and tasty treats. Which is why I have to keep riding my bike and playing golf. It's a vicious circle... :D

I like to play music, am a bit of a Beatle obsessive. My ambition is to learn every beatle song and busk on a street corner. I love animals and I wish I could be of use to an organisation like the World Wildlife Fund, etc. Apart from that I teach English.

In the last five years, my main activity was going to the football ground cheering my favorite team with my friends, always present, no matter how far the away match was...then our team confronted financial collapse, reaching from a title and cup contender down to the 4th league, the last one, for amators...but that didn't stopped me, something else did, a big personal problem (that suspended all my favorite activities indefinitely). Also used to make some free mods and patches for computer games, especially the sports-oriented ones, since i live in a country that doesn't shines in ice hockey, rugby, cycling, even football i would say, and so on, therefore no teams from here, so i worked to create some. Also liked to spend some time drawing, traditional way, and gpc graphic software, but nothing serious, just the pleasure of creation, writing was one of my biggest passion...

At what kind of facility do you work -- restaurant? hotel? ...???

Discuss further, please (or pm me).

Wrok an average of 60hrs a week so spare time is a premium. Apart from cycling, I was heavily into ice hockey, playing and coaching. I also ride Trials and take a hell of a lot of photographs!

Software engineer by trade but not currently working in my field. I ride, paint (acrylics and oils), dabble in robotics, electronics, read a lot, and muck around on my computer as I am right now. I love cars, and have owned a '77 911 and hope to own another 911 one day to mess around with.

Used to play drums in several bands, still play, when I can. Kids demand alot of my time( who knew). My wife and I use to travel abroad often, as the kids get older they will be going with us, and of course Red Wing hockey and Notre Dame football.
