The largest event in the cycling world

Tour de France

area that you have never been to before. Find a ski resort that would cater to your needs, and write at least two paragraphs describing the location, features, accommodations, and other activities available. Be sure to indicate how these features would accommodate your group's needs and wants.

We would love to go to Alta Badia, Italy because it is defiantly not somewhere that me and my friends have been. Also me and my friends are beginners with not a lot of experience, but I have some friends that have some experience. So, this place would accommodate for both types of people as there is trails for both beginners and intermediate skiers. Me and my friends also love the views and beautiful mountains, which is something that this place has. Also as a personal preference, as someone who hasn't skied in a long time I would be slightly scared, however this place has a stress free learning environment with a unique backdrop. We would also like to stay for a long time, and this ski resort has many terrains to explore for the significant period of time. Of course me and my friends would see past skiing, and what we would do other than skiing. In the village just next to the ski resort delicious food is prepared with some of the most popular restaurants, to fulfill our hunger from a lot of skiing. Also not only skiing, there is man open-air events like firework shows and more to watch. Also there is ice skating and sledging opportunities, if we want to do an activity other than skiing. We would like to collect memories of these great place as well and lots of souvenirs can also be collected through the numerous clothing, handcraft, and more shopping opportunities. Another thing that we love is taking pictures, taking pictures against the unique scenery will be wonderful. Finally as young high schoolers, we would all probably need an adult with us, so bringing an adult or multiple adults, along with maybe more family would be convenient because it is a family friendly ski resort.

My name is Jackie. I am five feet, three inches tall. I am interested in riding a bike to work. The distance is eight miles, with four being on a busy road and four being on a bike path. I'm also interested in possibly doing some easy mountain biking at some point. I have no idea what size or type of bike to look for, but I have been looking at some on the Internet. However, I don't like the idea of purchasing a bike online, so I also need to know where I should go to purchase a bike? What advice can you give me?

You can purchase a bike at a bike shop, or a sports store that has quality bikes. You should use a hybrid bicycle as it can be used as both a road bike and as an mountain bike for easy mountain biking trails. The size you should buy about a 15"-16" frame size. You can tell by making sure there is a 1-2 inch space between your crotch and top bar. You should also check the bike is the right size by placing the pedal at lowest position. When you sit on the bike and put your heel on the lowest position of the pedal your leg should be straight. Also the nose of the saddle (front end of the saddle) should be about 1.5-2 inches away from the crank hanger. Finally when you place your elbow on the nose of the saddle, your outstretched fingertips should just touch the center of the handlebars. I would suggest making sure that nothing is broken and everything is intact and tight before you buy the bike.

You are returning a serve, your partner is at the service line, and the ball you are returning is hit into the forehand or backhand corner, forcing you wide. What should you do next? Why?

Your opponent put you on the defense, so it would be better to hit the ball in away that allow you to recover. For example hit a lob, this causes the opponent to have to take more time/move back to hit the ball. This gives you time to recover.
