Bicyclist dies after group ride

This past weekend, a bicyclist had a heart attack shortly after completing a group ride in Harford County. After completing a ride from Harford Community College to Havre de Grace, the group decided to hit Starbucks to get their caffeine fix and while there Greg Krause had a "medical emergency." He was taken to Upper Chesapeake where he passed away a short time later.

Anyone who knows Greg or just wants to pay respects to a fellow bicyclist, you can see information on the planned gathering at <a href="http://www.chesapeakespokeswomen.com/">http://www.chesapeakespokeswomen.com/</a>;.

The moral of this story is that while we are in better shape than the average person (because of our love for bicycling), keep up with you medical wellness check-ups for those medical problems that may not be obvious! Source: Baltimore Bicycling list serve

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.
