Here at the office, DZ fans are a special breed, just like the rider they root for (Dave Zabriskie). DZ fans zip through the halls competitively trying to get to their next meeting first; they drink way more than their share of the coffee; they laugh with just a touch of "crazy;" they willingly wrestle with Ginger the bulldog (who happens to be just slightly unpredictable enough to make things interesting); and they cheer for Dave every time he does something noteworthy on or off his bike. Years ago, Dave showed up at a TCB Media Center event and took…

This here castle is considered pretty modern, by UK standards (think, 19th century). If you ever fancy swimming near a castle, you may want to consider racing in the Eastnore Castle Triathlon, over in Herefordshire, England—just a hop, skip and jump from Berkeley, CA.

As you faithful readers well know, we here at Clif Bar like to get out and about on a multitude of adventures whenever possible. One of the most epic adventures ever, happened last Fall when we set out on the 2 Mile Challenge tour. If you recall, the 2 Mile Challenge encourages people to replace one car trip under 2 miles with a bike once a week. Simple, right? Save some money on gas, do something good for your health and the environment—everyone wins! Well, we’re strong believers that one good turn deserves another, so we got our old bus…
