Memorial Day Ride<\/strong><\/span><\/a>

\nPost by LarryFS
\nSome of the many folks who turned out for the 2012 edition of the Honey Tour expressed interest in a ride on Memorial Day, Monday May 28th. So here is a relaxing 34-mile route from west side of Weatherford to Garner to Millsap to Weatherford: http:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/routes\/1180902. Rest stops available in Garner and in Millsap (assuming gas station stores are open). Route starts from Tx DoT parking lot on southwest corner of Hwy 180 and west Bankhead Hwy. Start time is 8:30 AM. Post ride lunch is planned for Skinny’s Hamburgers which opens at 11:00 AM. I’ll be there and will have a few paper copies of the route map.<\/p>\n

\nThe 2012 Honey Tour started from a new location (Centennial High School) and used slightly modified routes. Cheers to both changes – plenty of parking now and I liked going outbound initially on the routing we came inbound on in prior years. I think almost everything about this ride was excellent. Very good roads and scenery, excellent traffic control at intersections, well-stocked rest stops (they even had honey sticks this year), courteous drivers, enthusiastic and helpful volunteers. Only negative comment I have is the 15 minute interval between staged starts. Wendy and I might have waited for the actual 46-mile route start if it was only going to be…<\/p>\n

How to Recover from Muscle Soreness Caused by Intense Exercise<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nby Dr. Gabe Mirkin\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Fitness & Health with Dr. Gabe Mirkin
\nMuscle soreness should be part of every exercise program. If you don’t exercise intensely enough on one day to have sore muscles on the next, you will not gain maximum fitness and you are also losing out on many of the health benefits of exercise. The benefits of exercise are much greater with intense exercise than with casual exercising.<\/p>\n

You must damage your muscles to make them grow and become stronger. When muscles heal, they are stronger than they were before you damaged them. All athletes train by “stressing and recovering”. On one day, they take a hard workout in which they feel their muscles burning. Eight to 24 hours after they finish this intense…<\/p>\n

As I signaled to turn right driving down South Congress Avenue, following the “yield” sign heading onto Barton Springs Road, he came out of nowhere on my right, speeding out of control down South Congress. Because I was turning, and he was going so fast, he had to…<\/p>\n
