Hodgie chooses mountain biking

By Mike Hall, September 29, 2026

My great friend Hodgie is becoming quite adept at mountain biking and looks for

any opportunity to experience this adrenaline rush.  He is talented in tennis,

paddle tennis, pickleball, and has a storied history as a fly fisherman.

We have not fished together in years as biking is his ‘joy’ activity these days.

I think there’s another reason why fishing has less of the joy factor.
