Last week, we emerged from our office to party in our parking lot and hobnob with our friends and family at the 2 Mile Challenge Bike Party. What were we celebrating? Our beloved 2 Mile Challenge crew was back home and we wanted to share some 2MC love with all of our friends. The crew shared stories from their 10-week road trip and biking experts were on hand to give us the low down on commuting to work, fitting a bike and fixing a spare. Here are a few photos from the festivities: Weren't able to make it? Take a…

We're having a party and you're invited. It's a bit short notice, however, if you're in the neighborhood (Berkeley, CA, that is), roll on by. What are we celebrating? After 10 weeks on the road, the 2 Mile Challenge crew returns home to Clif headquarters and we're ready to welcome them back with open arms. Not ones to miss an opportunity for a par-tay, we're inviting all of our friends (that's you!) to join us for a visit to the 2 Mile Challenge Bus; while we’re at it, we’ve invited a slew of alternative transportation organizations to round out…

Star, Pace Leader for the CB Pace Team, weighs in on what it means to complete her 100th marathon— yeah, you read that correctly... Marathon runners love numbers. We define ourselves by distances—we scoff at the 5K and 10K as just a warm-up, use the half-marathon as "tune-up." We know our marathon times, probably each one of them, to the second. We speak in our secret language of miles, meters, repeats and Yasso 800's. And so here I was, on May 4, 2008, about to complete my 100th marathon. Quite a number. I certainly felt a sense of accomplishment, but…

As you’ll remember from your 6th grade history class (shout out to Mrs. Charnley back in Hotlanta!), those Bostonians sure know how to spread good messages. One can’t help but recall the most famous of all Beantown messengers, Mr. Paul Revere, and his fateful midnight ride to alert the country folk of the British advancement on our hallowed shores. The Brits weren’t aware that Paul was his day’s version of “Twitter,” and he was able to get the word out in time for our faithful patriots (before Tom Brady’s time, I’m afraid) to be at the ready for a battle…
