What Did We Learn This Month?
Recaps of Bicycling, Oxygen and Prevention
Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!
I know I complain about this quite a bit but I cannot take this heat much longer! Days after day of 85 degrees and over with the kind of humidity that makes the air feel like soup makes me beyond grumpy. Please tell me there will be relief soon?
Anyhoo, here are my latest magazine recaps. Enjoy!
Bicycling: August 2012
- “Sore No More” Bicycle gives us four stretches to help “ease your achy muscles.”
- “Under the Radar” Love this! Bicycle lists some of the best unofficial races including the “Stupor Bowl” set to take place in Minnesota next year during the Super Bowl next February.
- “London Calling” The Olympics are coming and this year they take place in London. Bicycle shows the route the cyclists will take July 28th & 29th.
- “Life’s Rich Pageant” Right now the Tour de France is taking place and it makes me dream about all things French and with bicycles. Here, writer Hampton Sides talks about taking in the experience in person. (Some of the human tunnels for the cyclists are only a few feet wide with the crowds being so big.)
- “Tour de France: Ultimate Fan’s Guide” What can I say? This is THE guide if you are looking to get your Tour de France on.
