Stretching is really important before any hard activity. It helps relax the muscles and prevents injuries. It will also reduce pains after the activity.

I've gone through a lot of the same issues Skip - always good to read someone else's account and realise I'm not alone! My pain was narrowed down to Illitibial Band Syndrome, something often assocated with the use of cleats which stop your feet pointing outwards when they want to. I moved to a pair of Five Ten Minnars and have never looked back! Awesome shoes, and didn't take me long to get used to keeping them glued to the pedals. Not only that but I reckon my riding's improved massively since starting to use them.

All the more reason to stay on the flats, keep it up!

Cheers!

I used to be in the basketball varsity team and it was stressed that stretching was important. After graduating, I just play for fun and exercise now but I don't stretch anymore. What happened? My knees are now injured and It has a lot to do with not stretching.

Looks great! Does it work as great as it looks? We'll have to wait and see. But I think it will be great because it is coming from a good brand.

I am usually prone to cold and runny nose, so I really find this post very helpful. I like the idea of adding some butter/marge to the garlic and ginger, this is the first time I've heard of that and I am very excited to try it soon. I think other people should see this post, too. Recommendable!

Generally I do not learn post on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very pressured me to check out and do so! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thank you, quite nice article.

I had the same issues, and still do with my left knee as well. I hurt it running about 5 years ago, and it just seems like it has never been the same. I was working with the rip 60, and noticed that my stomach and back were sore for days. Now before going to the gym, or riding a bike, I will stretch, but I have been told that even some of the stretches I did growing up, are no longer good for you. Probably just a part of growing older, but stretching just seems like it is becoming more and more important for me.

Stretching keeps your muscles long. I appreciate the article, I have been laid up for a couple weeks from the gym after popping the hammy playing ball.

A friend of mine I ride with occasionally has the Avid Elixirs and cannot praise them enough.

I have been toying with getting a set and have found a few websites who have a few in stock but few and far between and as you have mentioned, the prices reflects the fact not many stores have them due to be discontinued.

2011-06-10T16:26:54.453+01:00

It sucks that they're discontinued, I was heading towards Chain Reaction as I read the post. I run a single Magura HS33 on the back but I'd ideally like to get a disc to cope better in the winter months.

Are they still making a comparable model to this brake?

I used to like Specialized but I got into Cannondale and love the lefty fork. Can't go back now! http://www.shockgarden.com/activities-mountain-bike.html

Thanks for this informative article. Like all exercising, stretching is often an after thought. I'm finding that a good stretch before and after actually helps, especially now I'm not as young as I once was.

I used to just count my 'warm up' as the first 5 minutes of my mountain rides but now incorporate it into every trek I do.

Cheers Paul - good one.

Actually, stretching helps an athlete avoid injuries because it prepares the athlete's body for work.
