\nMay 2, 2010
\nThis month, two major reports in medical journals claim that getting people to reduce their intake of salt will save lives, prevent heart attacks and markedly reduce health costs (Annals of Internal Medicine, April, 2010; NEJM, April 22, 2010).\u00c2\u00a0 That may be true for many people who do not exercise, but for heavy
\nexercisers and athletes, particularly those who are also vegetarians, it can cause cramps, fatigue, injuries and even death.
\nDuring World War II, Dr. James Gamble of Harvard Medical School showed that salt (sodium) is the only mineral that people…<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Three of the four routes will come right through Alvarado,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Willy Gugel, Honey Tour media marketing consultant. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We love to have people cheering along the route displaying the flag and staffing the critical intersections to assure safe riding.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d …<\/p>\n

\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been three weeks; wow, what a long time since my last post. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m having a hard time remembering places I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been, things I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done and people I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve met.

Trinitiy Bicycles Presentation | The Path Less Pedaled<\/strong><\/a>
\nby Russ
\nWe weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite sure what to expect at our presentation at Trinity Bicycles in Fort Worth, but we were completely blown away last night. For a town that is so below the radar in terms of great bicycling cities, there was a sense that something was on the verge of happening. Laura and I expected 30, maybe 40 people at most to attend our presentation but we were completely dumbstruck when the numbers…<\/p>\n
