Homecoming Celebration for Michael Phelps

[The Fort McHenry event looks like it might be fun to bike to, I'm off doing something else but others may be interested in this.]

Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith, Governor Martin O’Malley and Mayor Sheila Dixon held a press conference to announce plans for a homecoming celebration for Michael Phelps, Katie Hoff and other Maryland Olympians. Baltimore County will host a Parade of Gold on Saturday, October 4 at 3 p.m. in Towson.

The parade will take place on York Road, beginning at Burke Avenue, continuing on York Road through the neighborhoods where Michael and Katie grew up, and ending at Anneslie Road. The homecoming celebration will continue later that day with a Star-Spangled Banner Salute to Maryland’s Olympians including Michael Phelps at Fort McHenry at 7 p.m.

Come out to welcome them home! For updated information, please visit <a href="http://baltimore.org/phelps">http://baltimore.org/phelps</a>;.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
