Sports
I'm no athlete, but I do like non-competitive sports. I really enjoy bicycling
and in-line skating. For years I was really gung-ho on speed-skating. However,
in December 1997 I moved to Asheville,
NC, up in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina. Unfortunately,
there are not any bike trails nearby and the roads are generally too hilly
for speed-skating. So I've mostly resorted to skating on local suburbs
and tennis courts. But the good news is I have rediscovered bicycling.
Here are some good clubs for these activities:

I also like (but don't do as much as I used to) sailing, windsurfing,
rowing, swimming, running, ice skating, frisbee, tennis, and climbing trees.
What doesn't make sense to me is why most people feel the need to haul
themselves around inside expensive metal boxes that fart continuously.
I'm certainly no triathlete, but I can usually get myself where I need
to go under my own power.
