Shiatsu and Bike Race this Sunday

Chair Shiatsu at Bike Race this Sunday

Join us for a day of thrilling bicycle racing and family fun at 48th and Chicago, July 24.  The 2011 Southside Sprint is the first amateur bike race to be held in Minneapolis in nearly 30 years!  Come and cheer on some of the fastest racers in the Upper Midwest as they fly past the shops and restaurants on Chicago Avenue and wind through the streets of the neighborhood.  

We have lots of other family fun activities in store, too.  Kids ages 12 and under can ride the same course as the racers in our kids fun race.  Everyone wins a medal and anything with wheels is welcome!  We’ll also have some BMX stunt riders showing their stuff and a group of lowrider bicycle enthusiasts will have their rides on display.  

Many of the local shops and restaurants are participating sponsors, including the South Chicago Avenue Business Alliance, Town Hall Tap, Wells Fargo, Bikes and Pieces, Pumphouse Creamery and Spruce Floral and Home.

If you’ve always wanted to try bike racing, try our “Citizens Race” - no experience necessary – and if you come early, you can attend our free racing clinic.

Racing starts at 8 AM
Kids fun race starts at Noon – right before our feature race.

Periodontal disease literally means disease of the tissues that surround and support the teeth. It is by far the most common oral condition suffered by cats. The majority of cats who are over two years old are believed to suffer from some degree of periodontal disease.
The outer surface of the teeth is made of enamel, which is the hardest material in the body. In a young cat, this enamel is smooth. Every day the teeth become covered in bacterial plaque, but through chewing, the plaque is constantly wiped from the smooth enamel. Plaque is soft, but it rapidly hardens to produce a substance called calculus, or tartar. Unlike enamel, tartar is rough in texture and so plaque is more difficult to remove from it.

The presence of bacteria in the plaque irritates the gum edges and causes them to become reddened and inflamed: a condition called gingivitis. As the gum grows increasingly inflamed, other bacteria start to cause further damage, and the gum may begin to recede around a tooth. Eventually the attachments holding the tooth in place are weakened, and it may then become loose. From: Pawprints and Purrs, Inc.
To help prevent or minimize periodontal issues, give your cat's mouth a regular check-over. If you think that he may be suffering from dental disease, take him to your vet for a thorough dental check up.
In addition, using the acu-poins noted below, can benefit the health of your cats gums and teeth.
