By Jay Bauder, Mon Dec 26th
Maintaining Good Health While Traveling Imagine planning a trip weeks or maybe months in advance andwhen the time comes that one gets to actually travel, for somereason, one gets sick along the way and instead of enjoying thetrip seeing the sites, one has nothing to do but just rest inthe hotel room instead of having fun. Surely, that is somethingno one wants to experience and here are a few tips one can keepin mind to avoid it. The best medicine before going on any trip is being in the bestpossible shape.

Matt Page (Voltage) - A Season Review!
It seems like such a long time ago that I was planning my 2008 season and now here I am writing a conclusion to what has been my best year of racing to date. After a brilliant end to 2007, winning Dusk ‘til Dawn I had big goals for the following season of racing with my 2 main goals being to win a 24hr solo race, ideally Mountain Mayhem and to defend my Dusk ‘til Dawn title.At the start of 2008 I was living in Cardiff, working as a cycle courier. What could be better than being paid to ride a bike? I was doing no specific training, just trying to add a few things into my work routine to try and improve a few parts of my riding.
What to take with you when you go mountain biking

Andrew Joesph, a qualified mountain bike guide, spills the beans on what you should take with you when you go mountain biking.
Penmachno Trail Closed for Cambrian Rally
The trail will be closed for one day on Saturday the 1st of November due to the Cambrian Rally taking place in the forest above Penmachno. Please observe the closure for your own safety. It will be open again on the Sunday.While I've got your attention, if I could remind everyone that there's an Honesty Box at the trailhead and any contributions are always welcome. We're always struggling to find cash to keep the trail maintained. Many thanks.

medication, it is best to pack sufficient stock for thetrip and must also check if the medication one is carrying isallowed in the place where one is going to avoid any problemswith customs. Now all the preparations have been made, it is onward with thetrip. It is best to have a good meal before going on a longtrip. Check-ins in airports is long and it will take some timebefore the airline gives the meals to its passengers. On a longtrip that could take hours by any mode of transportation, it isbest from time to time to stretch or walk around to circulatethe blood in the body. If one suffers motion sickness whiletraveling, it is also advisable to take the proper medicine atleast an hour before the trip for the medicine to take effect. Water is important and if one is unsure of the tap water, it isbest to order bottled water from the establishment. One shouldjust be sure that the bottle is still enclosed before opening tomake sure the bottle is safe for drinking. After taking all the necessary measures, there is no doubt thatthe trip will be a memorable experience.
