I "cram" the cycling into bicycle commuting to work (starting my yearly cycle again in a couple weeks). I can fairly easily get 20 miles in each day that way (increasing a bit in the summer months). I have a few mountain bike trials within shouting distance of my house. The hiking and fishing parts will have to just wait their turn :)
