This amazing video came to us via TEAM CLIF BAR athlete Hans Rey. It’s a ridiculous adventure through the Scottish Highlands with a few of the world’s best mountain-bike madmen, specifically Danny MacAskill and Steve Peat.
Clif Bar‘s out and about all over the country this week as we plunge into August. We hope you’re getting some summer sun wherever you are because we’re not—the San Francisco Bay area is freezing! So come on out and say hi to us if there are Clif Bar events near you!

Squaw Valley, CA - Wanderlust Festival (through Sunday, August 1) - Wanderlust is a new kind of festival bringing together the world’s top yoga teachers and the best performers in rock & roll, all in a setting of breathtaking natural beauty. Music. Yoga. Nature. LUNA! This will be the 2nd Wanderlust and LUNA is the Exclusive Nutrition Bar sponsor. In addition to sampling on-site, we will host a LUNAFEST on Thursday night outside in the Village. Check out the website for details on LUNAFEST, yoga and the music line up.
So you wake up on any given weekday morning. You brew your coffee/tea, which you quickly pour into your travel mug, then reach into your bag for that trusty CLIF BAR. Uh oh. Fresh out!
You just hate it when that happens, we know. Well, we’re here to help. We want to load up one lucky Clif fan with a year’s supply of bars, a lofty prize for any CLIF BAR lover.
But we don’t want to simply give hundreds of bars away at random. We want someone creative, active, funny and/or someone that’s just plain-old passionate about Clif products and the lifestyle Clif Bar & Company promotes. So we ask you this question.
What would you do with a year’s supply of CLIF BARs?
Entries will be judged based on their content by creativity and originality, and the winner will be contacted via email. All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post (if you’re not already registered, you’ll want to do that first) and tell us what you’d do with a year’s supply of CLIF BARs. (Make sure you read the full contest rules here before submitting.)
If you want to make a video (YouTube, Facebook...) or share a pic (Flickr, Twitpic, Facebook...) that might help your cause, just include the link(s) in your comment. But that’s not a must. Just be yourself and we’ll take that into consideration.
Starting now, you’ll have until July 29, 2010 (11:59pm PT to be exact) to get your comment in. Only one comment per person will be counted, so make it good!
While there will only be one grand prize winner, we’ll choose our top five and give the runners up something to snack on. More chances to win!
Good luck!

To say that Todd Wells has been killing it this year would be an understatement. So when he took the National Championship jerseys for both cross country and short track this past weekend in Granby, Colorado, we were super-stoked...but not all that surprised. Here is Todd’s report from the weekend.
This is definitely one of the best race reports I have ever written. I have always had bad luck at the National Championship races for some reason, but this weekend was just about perfect. I managed to win the cross-country title for the first time and the short track title in the same weekend on the brand new Specialized S-Works Epic 29er. My wife, parents, parents-in-law, and dog Winston were all there to share it with, too. It was just awesome.
Saturday was the XC and the second year in a row Nationals was contested at nine thousand feet in Colorado. It was a hot day with temperatures in the eighties, minimal shade and rough, dusty trails. This year I had a good block of almost five weeks to prepare at home, and I knew I needed to train higher than even the sixty five hundred feet of Durango if I wanted to be competitive.
Can you believe how fast we’re speeding through July? Summer’s rolling right along and there are plenty of events this week to sustain your active lifestyle. Come on out and support your local events and stop by and see Clif Bar, too!
