What Does The Peace Sign Mean Sideways

Finally gloves bike! New York Marathon

like me When you move exclusively by bike to go across town, it is an accessory that quickly becomes useful gloves. Dice it's cold they become indispensable if you do not want to have cold fingers. Yes, but where? You can find the classic bike gloves for people who cycle racing at the output long, but is that really suited to a style of cycling in the city? No. You can put his gloves in wool, it keeps you warm. But the air arrives at the long to pass through the holes in the wool, and once they are a little wet it quickly becomes unpleasant. Leather gloves then? You'll quickly damaging them if you use them for cycling, their palm is not intended for this.


And then and then.


And then I went to Go Sport, and I saw that.


leather gloves designed for cycling, with reinforced palms, and carefully placed vents. Finally the possibility of having a proper look for cycling in the city. Neither one nor two I took a pair, and even two (I like it to match them to my outfit, let's be pretty!). Do I just have to test them in real life ...


For practical details, they are the radius bike brand is CHOK (they also have lots of other neat stuff elsewhere to make it more colorful bike in town, great helmets and bikes very smart. If I listened ...), they come in many colors, and choose your size (I got the XL so than I thought not have such big hands)

What Ah Rating Should My Battery Be

2010

The distance runner knows, the race of the season. Common sense means that it is not prudent to run when it gets too hot or too cold, it is recommended not to run beyond 25 ° C and not below 5 ° C. In fact if you watch a race calendar, you'll see that the most important in spring or autumn, the winter is rather used to do substantive work and the summer holidays. In these extreme seasons true addicts will embark on the trail.

Marathon is no exception to this purpose. If we take the five major marathons that everyone wants to do once in a lifetime, one in Boston and London are in April, will be Berlin in September, Chicago in October, and New York finished the season in November. The last marathon of the group is that of New York held November 7, 2010.

This year's marathon in New York was marked by a new one which has greatly shaken the landerneau marathoners. Haile Gebrselassie, the current record holder over the distance, dropped to 25th km due to a knee problem, and announced in the wake he was ending his career. Immediately everyone will be affected, among other things, and regretted that ended his career on an abandonment.

few days but he moderated his remarks and said he was thinking. And finally, a week after the terrible news of an abandoned quarry, he reassured us and said he would still continue to run for two three years, for our greatest happiness. One can easily imagine he wants to mark the coming Olympic Games in London in 2010 (and this would be the perfect time to really end his career as a marathoner).


Rest assured, the Ethiopian is assured. Gebre Egziabher Gebremariam the young (26 years) ran a marathon for the first time, and he won in 2h08m13. It promises great racing!

And all this in French? The first French, Christelle Daunay, came sixth woman 2h29m29, and the first French, Stéphane Vautier was the 55th man to finish in 2h31m56.

A small note for people to finish? Well yes, these people are like you and me, they may also want to run to let off steam. This year the marathon in New there was Yannick Noah (ended 4h01m38) and Amelie Mauresmo (3h40m20, very well for a first marathon!). Congratulations to them and to all those riders, famous or anonymous, who will run the marathon until the end. Because even for the latter, it's still a little over 42 km it takes to swallow the strength of his will.
