In the September 2008 Report On Business there's an article about 49-year-old Agnico-Eagle CEO Sean Boyd who rides his 10-speed Italian racing bicycle 30-kilometers a weekend just to keep fit. An accountant by trade, Boyd's company is building five new gold mines. The high-pressure mining business often yields no financial returns after years of investment which may explain Boyd's desire to ride away from it all.
Exercise, whether it's riding a racing bicycle or just walking around the block, is a great way to relieve stress and anxiety.
