Looks like it's just me, Buster and Philly playing the team sports with the rest partaking in a lot of solo activities.
I would have thought more would be involved in team sports. Sexual intercourse does not count as a team sport, unless there are 4 or more involved. Be sure to msg me if you ever want to get that going.

hurrdurr.

Lately:
60% building
20% riding
9% gym
1% snowboarding

Building will decrease and riding will increase as the temps warm.

You should use your remaining 10% for learning addition ;)

All I know is that it sucks to ride solo. Once you find someone, or a group that you enjoy riding with, it makes it all the better.

So in a way, riding and building is a team sport. Like playing golf in a foursome, you're still working towards your own goal, but surrounded by like minded others.

30% dh biking
10% pumptrack riding
40% snowboarding
20% basement suite building
Trail work took a massive this year, down to near zip.
Basement suite will enable me to afford living detached, and central in the lower mainland.
Once thats established I'll get back to trail work.

I can jump and turn my bars.

As much as I like to ride with a group I really enjoy riding solo, probably 65% of my rides are solo rides (I try to ride 3-5 days a week on average).
