I don't watch a lot of televised sport - not least because of how expensive it is to subscribe to it all! But I do love to watch the big international games when they're free-to-air in the UK. The football World Cups and the Euros are great but I love the rugby 6 Nations every year too.

I've really enjoyed the Wrexham and Sunderland documentary series' recently. When I was younger I didn't really get the idea of being that passionate about a team of ever-changing non-local players, owned by someone with no real affiliation to the area. But I moved to Leicester a good 15+ years ago and seeing what it meant to people when they won the league was amazing!

I lost my Dad earlier this year and he was a huge Irish rugby fan (and a great player in his day)! Watching Ireland play in the Six Nations feels much more poignant to me now and I relate a lot more to that passion you can see so clearly in those documentaries. I don't think I'll ever get over watching Ireland, ranked world #1, go out of the Rugby World Cup in the quarter finals last year, knowing it would be the last Ireland game I'd get to watch with my Dad 💔

in our club, we have a joke "Some people only talk about sports online, while others well... just RIDE" =)

I enjoy all forms of cycling, from casual urban commuting to exhilarating forest rampages on trails

It's kayaking for me! Although most people have been in some form of kayak in their life, it's not super commonly thought of as a sport. I joined my local club around 6 months ago now, I do flatwater racing (although I'm not quite ready to actually race yet) - it's a lot harder than it looks but I'm slowly but surely improving! I'd recommend it to everyone :)
