Mountain biking
Article Abstract:
The Red Kite Mountain Bike Centre offers one means of enjoying the excellent mountain biking terrain in the Cambrian mountains of Wales. The centre, which is based at a hotel in Llanwrtyd Wells, charges 71 pounds sterling for a weekend's stay. This includes accommodation, all meals and guided rides, but bike hire is extra. The uphill stretches can be quite taxing on the leg muscles and participants could spend some time building up their stamina prior to the tougher guided rides. Guides will provide skills training.

Article Abstract:
ImClone has failed to consolidate the intellectual property (IP) covering Erbitux which shows that ImClone is ingeniously strategic in its use of other IP. From a strategic viewpoint, ImClone is smart to hold on as long as it could to its position as licensee and co-inventor of the '866 patent which enabled the firm to secure the billion dollar deal with Bristol Myers Squibb.
