STRETCHING IS LIKE PRAYING... AND RESULTS FROM YESTERDAYS REQUEST

STRETCHING IS LIKE PRAYING... AND RESULTS FROM YESTERDAYS REQUEST

I'VE HEARD IT SAID THAT STRETCHING IS A LOT LIKE PRAYING, we should do it when we least want to.  I get that sentiment.  There was a time when I'd stretch every time I returned from a ride...

... never before.

Someone somewhere told me to never stretch cold muscles.  It sounded sound, and very convenient.  I'm rushed as it is trying to meet the posse, skipping a pre-ride stretch was easy to do.

For a long time, I'd return from a ride and always do some stretching and a few crunches.

Not these days.

These days have it in my head to stretch at night, do a few planks, a little yoga... and hit the legs with the HyperVolt.

But, having it in my mind mid-day is a lot different from actually doing it mid-night, when I'm tuckered out, when I just wanna fall asleep to an old and mindless re-run...

... so I start to skip.

Little aches and kinks start popping up.  IT band irritation.  Tight back.  Strained calf.  The sort of stuff I really want to avoid...

... just need to get on the floor before I go to bed, and do my stretches.

On that note, I appreciate y'all giving me feedback on a non-racey name for the inter-galacticly famous RaceDay Bag™.

Pedal Bag and Ride Bag were the top 2 suggestions.  I like PEDALbag from a marketing standpoint because it leverages PEDALindustries.  I like RIDEbag because we all ride.  Stay-tuned the final decision.  Video will launch soon.
