Late to the party but so far I've found Geohashing intriguing and a lot of fun. My home Graticule is Buffalo, NY which has been quiet for quite some time, but I'm hoping to meet more Geohashers when I'm traveling. I always wanted an excuse to get a GPS and I picked up a used one cheaply on eBay. Having the GPS has transitioned nicely into geocaching and takes the place of Geohashing when the hash doesn't land in a good spot or if I'm out hiking with the dogs.
I love to get out on my bike for long road rides but I haven't gotten out as much as I'd like these past few years. Speaking of bikes, I have to say that geohashing has really changed my rides. I am one of those guys that has no problem doing the same course over and over because I know what to expect (hills, time, etc). I have a hard time deciding on a new course especially without being familiar with the area I'm going to as I don't want to get lost. Riding to hashes is great because I have a destination to go to, directions are usually pretty easy to remember and most importantly, I get to see new things.
