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.

Wow! it's really incredible! Recently I've downloaded many photos of the event from http://filecraft.com SE and one dude in the photos attracted my attention. The thing you gotta know about that cool dude is that, in addition to having Woody Woodpecker as a mascot, he was riding a 1954 single speed. OneLessCar did a great job. Some of the route changes were a shame (no Fort McHenry due to seawall construction and heading to/from North Point later in the route, when the wind had picked up), but having Chipotle at the end made up for anything lacking.
