So there is a good chance your kid is fat or the one you are practicing trying to get is going to be fatter.

And at the same time I'm finding it extremely hard for local biz to donate to my son's "Walk and Roll" to school week!

The I randomly ran across this blog and which was about bikes and coaster brakes, bla bla but the opening paragraph was great!

A few years ago I had a German exchange student living with me for a year. He was great but boy did he have a lot of energy and there would be times when he was driving me crazy because he had so much unspent energy and my wife would tell me it was "time to run the collie". So I'd go outside and throw the football, play basketball, whatever it took to get him to calm down....

It's that time of year where teams start migrating in the reverse direction of the geese looking for warming temps, dry roads and some sun. Here in Colorado most teams select close by areas such as Moab, Fruita, Santa Fe and Albuquerque. My team this year is shooting for Albuquerque and we are not alone, many pro teams have selected Albuquerque as their spring training spot, however one spot I never would have considered but might have if I lived in say Chicago is the Alabama Cycling Camp.
