I'm also an avid motorcyclist. I'll be doing a "track day" at Road Atlanta on June 29 on our Kawasaki ZX6R. Nothing like going done the backstretch at over 150+ MPH! :applaud:

OW for the most part.

the lake I swim in has a huge playground/park with a small café to get snacks (Ice-cream). It's perfect for the family. So I can swim 60-90 minutes while the kids play. One of my swimming friends has 4 kids, so the 6 of them have a great time.

June 22-July 5 will be my first 2 weeks of vacation. I have a friend coming to stay with us, and we will swim 45-50km during the first week, two swims a day. from July 6- Aug 2 I will only work 50% so I can get a nice long morning swim or lunch time swim in. Aug 3-16 I will be home with my girls just having fun during the day and swimming in the evenings.

I participated in my last pool meet last weekend and I have until Aug 14-16 to prepare for me next pool meet. I have a good 4-5 weeks of swimming outside before my OW races start. will swim a 5km, 1km, and 3km the 10-12 july. and Aug 16th will be my 4th and last of this summer.

My team is getting a new head coach starting in Aug (some of you know and/or swam with her) and I am hoping to get to practice with the kids on satursday starting Aug 22 after they get back from a 1 week training camp.

Does mowing one's lawn count? (With all the rain here in central Illinois, sometimes it's twice a week! Shees!)

I still swim, and run the dog.

Tennis
(and swimming in the outdoor pool, 20 June to end August. It used to be only July-August but thank God they've added 10 days, so..........)
Outdoor swimming and suntanning.

Marathon canoeing. I usually don't race much, but getting out on the water, instead of in it, is fun for a change.

OK ,it's not a sport, but I put my car into classic car shows & some times win trophies! 4 shows this summer so far - 4 trophies !:applaud:

That can be alot of work....
- What kind of/year is the car?
- Are you one of the folks who polishes the engine block and uses a cue tip on the tire treads?

[orca1946]

Once it's clean , I drive on nice days to local car shows. It is a Smokey & the Bandit 1978 black Trans Am with T - tops . Bought it new in nov of 77 . My line is "Same car & wife for 31 years - they are both trophy winners & I'm keeping them ! "
Yeah ,I do clean the engine for about 2 hours ! It is the off season, so it helps me stay in shape - ha ha
