Slicing and dicing along the journey to the top of the podium; Team Clif Bar sponsored Santa Cruz Syndicate’s very own Greg Minnaar has positioned himself nicely into the leader’s jersey. Check out the blow by blow (and some sweet pics from the adventures of late) from team manager extraordinaire Kathy Sessler!

Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Greg Minnaar (SRAM/RockShox), moves into the leader’s jersey with his big win at the UCI Downhill World Cup in Fort William, Scotland.

Digging In and Going Big at UDUG 2011!

The second annual UpsideDown and UnderGround (UDUG) Bike Competition was off the hook this year! Jamie Goldman (Santa Cruz Syndicate/Team Clif Bar) worked tirelessly to ensure that his backyard creation for the UDUG2011 course was better than ever.

Huge thanks to Jamie for the inspiration to gather the tribe, share his ride zone, and encourage the evolution of a mighty fine time for all. We here at Clif can’t wait to see what next year may bring!

Chasing Armadillos with the Clif Bar Texas Field Team

You can trust the friendly Clif Bar Texas Field Marketing team to turn on their big Texas charm just about everywhere they go. Last month, Field Marketing Manager Chris Leon and his crew combined that charm with some fuel in the form of Shot Gel to get riders to the finish line at the Armadillo Classic – a sure recipe for success!

Clif Texas 2

Yes, the Texas Crew is friendly bunch like all Texans but we try to go that extra long Texas mile and help support peoples’ passion. What better way to support that passion than to help riders in their time of need, handing out our new CLIF SHOT Gel formula and other Clif Bar goodies at aid station #5 AKA “The Dillo Door” at the Armadillo Classic Ride in Liberty Hill, TX a few weeks back.

Team CLIF Bar Cycling Races the Dana Point GP

At the beginning of the month the Team CLIF Bar cycling squad headed down to SoCal to race the Dana Point GP.

It’s always a great race, but this year we also had the Clif Bar Field Marketing crew down there in action, with CLIF BAR and CLIF SHOT the official energy food sponsor of the 2011 race.

Brooke and her Field Marketing team did a great job connecting with spectators all over the course – and they also set up an inviting warm-up spot for the TCB riders. That was slick! Add Dave Towle calling the race as only Dave can, and all the pieces of a great event sponsorship were in place.

It was a fine day of racing at the Dana Point GP.
