Beyond bikes my main obsessions are old aircooled Volkswagen, camping and going to gigs. Even better if I can combine two of those at a time such as the weekend long VW shows like VW Action, Big Bang and Deva Dubs 'n' Rods or a festival like the Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival.
Also quite fond of motorcycles and messing with computer operating systems (Linux and Android).

I grew up playing rugby and had to stop aged 21 due to a bad neck injury. I still love the game following Leicester Tigers and England. I try and get to live games for both when I can. I also like football and support Everton FC. I like keeping fit by running, now cycling, using free weights and practicing Krav Maga (an Israeli self-defense system). I'm also trying to learn the piano at the moment. Plus enjoy a good night out with friends and watching anything live, music, theatre and comedians.

Outside of cycling, my main passion would be music. I did my first degree in music technology and can play guitar, synth, drums, bass guitar & piano (synth is mainly notes & the sound design, piano is mainly chords). I also DJ & produce my own electronic music so have my own home recording & mixing/mastering studio. Outside of music, I also like playing video games (have an Xbox 360, PS3 & a Wii), I follow football and rugby (both knee & rib injuries put paid to any participation) so I'm a NUFC & Falcons fan for my sins.
I'm now currently studying a second degree in engineering whilst working various call centre jobs as there's not a lot of jobs in the music industry outside of London/self financing (bit of a cop out, but my dad works in the oil & gas industry so will eventually be able to get a high paid engineering job that should be able to fund my music & cycling obsessions).

I used to enjoy photography but the digital age has spoilt that, I was into Ham Radio but antenna regulations have stopped that, I was into building and Flying model aircraft but deteriorating eyesight put paid to that. I spend time on my Allotment and riding my bikes but the most pleasure I get is from being a grumpy old man

Nothing ! But it's fun searching for it when you're out and about its good fun to get the kids looking for it especially when you have seen it and have a nice rest while they go mad looking for it! It's an app on the phones try it

I bet there's some greedy opportunist out there thinking 'Now, how can I make this Geocaching into Geo-Ka-ching?' Hope nobody spoils it so it can remain fun and enjoyable and above all, free.

Think it was land rover who hid three geocaches around the country and in the cache was the keys to a brand new discovery. ! So yeah it's been done !
