Yeah, hard to believe cyclo-cross season is upon us. I was always aware of cyclos-cross, I remember seeing the World Championships on TV when Van Der Poel always finished 2nd, for some reason they showed it here in Ireland early 90s. However it was only when I lived in Belgium 07/08 that I really got into it. I really love it now and have beem to a few races, WC & Superprestige. Only time I have ever paid to watch cycling is at a Superprestige race.

I think with Boom concentrating on the road and Bart Wellens suffering from injury, Albert will take over from Sven Nys this season. I dont know if he will be as dominant, maybe it would be better it there was a greater spread of winners but I think he will be the main man. Not sure if there will be any other breakout riders but I think the Czechs Stybar and Simunek will be the biggest threats this season. Nys is on the slippery slope downhill, dont know if Pauwels, Vantornout, Franzoi or Vanthourenhout can step up.

Finally, Euorsport dont show cyclo-cross so I have no other possibilities for watching races, is there somewhere online I can watch. I hope to make it over to a race this year, hopefully Koksidje. Fingers crossed.

I'm Sporza-spoiled so I don't know. Hope you can get coverage. Nothing like a good hour of cyclo-cross on a winter sunday.

yoga therapy

Increasing Flexibility – yoga therapy has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are never really on the ‘radar screen’ let alone exercised.Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – likewise, the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body.Surprisingly it has been found tht the body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing a remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been consciously work upon. Why? It is here that the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle. Seemingly unrelated “non strenuous” yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained relatively easily.
Massaging of ALL Organs of the Body – Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those – such as the prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder.
