St Ives CC host the next stage of the Eastern Region Mountain Bike League . To help with race preparations and recovery, the St Ives based club have teamed with the sports massage support team of Phil Young and Sue Burnett, Active Edge Solutions to ensure the riders have the best ride possible. In preparation for the Peterborough Stage of the Tour series, June 2009, cyclingbargains race team manager Rod Freeman is a great supporter of Active Edge Solutions and Sports Massage. He advocates that the best riding mix for performance riders is to have a " balanced training program, good nutrition and sports massage".

Both Sue and Phil will be on hand during the event to provide injury prevention advice, pre and post event sports massage to enhance the riders warm up and race recovery easing away the aches, pains and strains of a days hard riding. This will ensure the riders get the best opportunity to improve their chances of a better performance, reduce the risks to injury and reduce the delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS).

A bad case of the DOMS is not good for riders, runners or sports people because it means returning to training and racing will take that much longer. Riders can avoid a bad case of the DOMS with an effective sports conditioning massage.
