Just wondering what other sports/athletic activities/regimens (besides sex) do people on this forum do besides biking? I know there's tons of stuff around here to do... especially near D.C. Anyone?
So what other sports/athletic activities (besides sex) do you participate in?

I got back into playing soccer this year just to mix things up. I played with a team called Electric Mayhem in the Alexandria rec league this fall. I'll try to fit in a couple of after work runs in as well during the week just for the cardio but tend to slack on this routine on days like today.
I work out at the Y. That's about it.
Motocross and snowboarding.
Nothing I would really call a sport. More like activities. I hike a lot. Lately I've been swimming with my wife. I used to be a pretty decent whitewater boater but I kind of gave it up.
i chase my 1 year old around. it's exhausting.
i actually play alot of golf here at school. i have a couse about 100 yards from my dorm, its pretty sweet. you can call it a sissy sport all you like but all that really means is, you cant play...
i've started running again some too. but its so i can get alittle better cardio base. i realized all i really need to be faster is a little better endurance and to quit being such a biatch and lay off the brakes....so i'm working on one

I rock climb weekly, ski in the winter, also bodyboard in NC a lot in the fall and winter.
I play soccer and i might play lacrosse this year.
I yell at my coworkers.
Rugby, chase the Bandito and Zero around yelling at them to dig faster, work on my marksmanship to deal with my nextdoor neighbors.
Back when I lived in a more civilized part of the world, I snowboarded, back country mountaineered, and did some white water kayaking/rafting.

Rigorous 12oz curls for me.
Oh and lot's of trail work. Digging, raking and pushing big rocks around is a great workout.

I love digging. Seriously, if theres one thing that I love doing more than riding or girls, its digging, building stunts, and trail work.
i feel ya, the rewards afterwards are worth it, and you can say you built it and be proud of what you did
Your ganna play lacrosse??? Sweeetttt.
we should do that again.
i have air soft battles with my coworkers...this is getting out of control...last night i got followed home from work and shot with an Uzzi! 20 rps. Tore my calf running from my car to my door.
airsoft, lax, soccer ultimate, surfing, skateboarding, rugby, hockey, kiteboarding, hcore skimboarding, snowboarding tramp bike etc
submission grappling couple times a week. I used to race motocross, still go out and riding every once in awhile, plus I like snowboarding, wakeboarding, and jet-skiing (stand-up). Not sure how much snowboarding I will get in this winter since now living in Virginia Beach.
i use to be really big into R/C cars but now i pretty much only bike as an activity and sport. i still have an R/C heli though that i'm trying to learn how to fly but DAMN they are hard to fly

indoor climbing around dc is great. if you're a student you can get a winter membership to sportrock for about 200.
I play league volleyball once a week, skiing, and spinning classes. Not to mention catching up on all the work around the house that has been neglected all summer long. 
Oh and an occasional trail maintenance day here and there.

Besides DH/FR: XC, trail work, futsal (indoor brazilian soccer), bike commuting year round
I play V-ball on the same team as VTmbkr, and do some running as well as swat training for my job( running and gunning,), I try and go to the gym 2-3 times a week. I do a lot of walking and stair climbing at work as well.
I still bike all winter long, but I also swim (open water in the warmer months, indoors rest of the year), snowboard, and go to the gym about 5 days a week now.

windsurfing, skim/skate/wake/snow boarding (not nearly enough of any of them any more) racquetball, adventure (orienteering) racing
I am interested in adventure racing. I go woodsing all the time, which involves just going out in the woods with the destenation such as a mountain top or something and just trompin through the woods.
that is definatly alot of fun, but the last time i did that i gashed my leg open 3mi from any road and had to wrap it up before i bled out. and had to huff it back out the three miles with my pack and my friend so i could get to a hospital. (thank god my friend and i are trained in CPR first aid, defiblator ...wananana due to lifegaurding)
i did one race last year and 2 this year, couldn't make the last two but my teamate hooked up with another dude so we could still be in the team standings. check out http://www.hradventure.com
the schedule is up (i think) for next year. there is going to be a 24-36 race in c'ville (sleep optional) and one of the disciplines is going to be riverboarding (never done THAT before). its a great organization and the fees are VERY reasonable.
