Cycling Holidays - Vacations

Do you enjoy cycling so much that you take your bike on holidays/vacations? If you are one of these people, that is great! If you have just thought about it, yet have not done it that is fine too.

I have personally taken my bike on some holidays/vacations with me. They were short, long weekend, holidays but I have still done it.

The most memorable experience I can think of was the time some friends and I plus our families went to a place called Mormon lake in arizona.

I remember it well because it was late spring or early summer so the weather was wonderful. We got there the night before and camped out. The following morning was an overcast day. It was looking like it was going to rain. We all decided to go on a ride anyway.

We were on our way around the lake! The scenery was very beautiful with green trees providing a canopy over the road. The grass was green, long and gently swaying in the breeze.

On our ride around the lake we realized the whole way the roads were wet but we had not been rained on. Once we got back to our camping spot our families told us that the rain had been ahead of us the whole time. So we were able to enjoy a wonderful ride without being rained on!

I think I remember this ride because of the scenery yet also because it was my first biking holiday/vacation. The ride was great and the weather was particularly wonderful.

We all had a great time riding and spending some time together.

It is always nice to get away from the city traffic or your normal riding routes and enjoy a change of scenery.

There are a variety of places that you can get away and enjoy a pleasant bike ride. You might know of some good places you have wanted to try out.

If you can afford to go outside your own country there are great places to ride in italy and along the northern california coast. If you look hard enough there are great places to ride near and far from where you might live.

You might be thinking do I have to take my own bike or can I just rent one and the answer is you can do either. Dont let anything stop you from experiencing new and exciting places to ride.

The choice is yours as to how far you would like to go away from home.

Aesthetic Surgery - It's Aims and Possibilities

With age comes wisdom and experience. Regrettably, quite opposite things happen about youthful and attractive appearance as, with age, it is gone. Plastic surgery gives people a second opportunity in their life to look young and beautiful.

The plastic surgery specialist Gintaras Papeckys from Kaunas (second largest city in Lithuania) has devoted more than thirteen years to helping people and creating beauty. The surgeon worked on probation in Belgium at St. Lukes University Hospital and took part in conferences in Greece, America, France as well as Check Republic. Although the time of life is running at a cosmic speed, says Papeckys, we can still slow it with the help of technical tools.

Many patients think that a plastic surgery specialist will miraculously change their body shapes into something totally perfect, but this is not so. Aesthetic surgery does not pursue records. The idea of aesthetic surgery is not creating ideal beauty. The aim of present-day aesthetic surgery is to stop the aging process and help everyone look younger, more beautiful and attractive. When somebody says to my patient: Hey, you are not getting old! You look as beautiful as in your youth, for me it is the best evaluation of my work, says Papeckys.

women start aging earlier than men. The first small wrinkles appear at the age of about 25. Therefore, a woman must become worried about her beauty much earlier. For the beginning, specialists recommend prophylactic procedures such as using creams containing fruit acid (AHA). It smoothes wrinkles and tightens skin. Later, at the age of 35, creams are no longer effective to prevent aging. The wrinkles from nostrils to the corners of the mouth become deeper, and the mimic wrinkles get more visible. Due to the fatty tissue atrophy, the cheeks sink in. Therefore, the surgeon recommends a bit more aggressive procedures. They are not complicated and include micro-suction, fat transfer or Botox and Matridex injections into wrinkles.

Mens skin is tighter, therefore micro-suction or fat transfer operations are recommended when they are about forty. At this age, there appear changes in the lower eyelid and cheek areas. For the fair sex, the critical age is over 40. The wrinkles of aging become clearly noticeable: the skin loses elasticity, falls and gets wrinkled; there appear laugh wrinkles, double chin and pouches under the eyes. A plastic surgery specialist evaluates the traces of age with the help of computer and suggests ways of correcting those changes.

At the age of about 40, surgical intervention is also recommended because the excess of skin needs to be removed. To restore sunk-in cheeks, specialists use synthetic and biological implants or the patients tissues. A special operation is done to remove double chin. All these operations are done for men as well.

Also, it is a frequent case when after childbirth womens breasts lose their former shape. The most popular choice to restore and correct their former shape is the implants.

children may also have problems with their appearance. Inborn defects often lead to psychological traumas. A typical case is sticking-out ears, the treatment of which is recommended for children of 5-6 years old, before starting school. Burn scar correction is recommended before the period of adolescence, when appearance becomes very important among teenagers. Hare lip correction is recommended for new-born children before taking them home from the hospital.

So when 40-year old celebrities with not a smallest wrinkle on their face tell you stories of the saving grace of yoga, balanced food and similar things, dont take it for granted: very often it is the result of a plastic surgery specialists scrupulous work
