Colleen, Colorado Field Marketing Rep, is a crazy cat. She loves to run...and run...and run. For the third year in a row, she decided to spend an entire vacation running. August in Colorado means a few things; the Broncos are in training camp, the Rockies are STILL playing, and it’s time for Trans Rockies Run! And for my third year in a row I had more than a blast! What and where is this “Trans Rockies” I speak of? It’s a 2-person team, 6-day stage trail race from Buena Vista, Colorado to Beaver Creek, Colorado, and covers 113 miles with…

Aliy and her crew lost contact with the interwebs while finishing up their journey from the Missouri River to the Mississippi. Read on for their story from the roads of Iowa. Days 3-7 of RAGBRAI, a bit delayed. Day 3: Everyday is a Spandex Party Day If you aren’t a fan of spandex, maybe RGBRAI isn’t for you. Lucky for us, we LOVE spandex and all the fun it brings out…or keeps in. Whether you’re in red, green, black, or yellow, on RAGBRAI, less is more and tube socks are NOT allowed. The all-day bicycle fest plus the Iowa heat…

Is this heaven? No—it's RAGBRAI… The Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) is a week-long venture where two-wheelers (of the pedaling-variety) embark on a 472-mile ride across the state of Iowa—hence, the name. As the ride turns 37-years old this year, the Midwestern-based Clif Bar team has decided to roll through. The ride begins Sunday July 18 on the Western border of Iowa and finishes Sunday July 25th at the edge of the Mississippi River. That’s a whole lot of riding, and handing out Clif Bars, too. Aliy (our Chicago Field Marketing Rep), Eric, Brian, and Adam…

Here’s an entertaining adventure, straight from the horse's mouth. That horse, being the soon-to-be husband of Corey, our Colorado Field Marketing Rep. I’m not sure why he was in a kilt after just getting off of a bike ride, but I won’t worry about the finer details. Lesson learned: watch where you’re going. This is truly a tall tale, except that it actually happened. I’ll make it quick. I’m in a band and was on the way to an afternoon gig in Denver. I didn’t see a stop sign and T-boned a cop. You can imagine what was going on…
