It’s that time of year again...time for us to get on our bikes and do a bit (er, a lot) of riding to commemorate the moment Gary realized he could make a better-tasting bar. Yup, the epiphany that started it all. We named a ride after it and the annual par-tay was last Saturday. A few brave souls rode a full 150 miles that day; others went with 100 miles, 50 or 30 along a course of rolling hills, scenic vistas and a jaunt through a few miles of hunting territory (bullet shells included). There was also an ad-hoc 58-miler…

I'm taking a short hiatus from talking about our Eco Challenge to blog about a "trip" I'm on. Thanks to Miss Shauna, sustainable food systems extraordinare, I'm attending the Sustainable Food Summit Lab.

Most of the films are still under wraps but one…

This Friday, 9/19, Clif Bar Family Winery is teaming up with The Wine Spies for a one-day sale of the winery’s 2005 Gary’s Improv Zinfandel. Here's the scoop on this deal: With each sale, we’ll donate $2 to support Native Energy’s Windbuilders program. The money raised will go towards helping the Rosebud Sioux Tribe build the St. Francis Wind Farm in South Dakota. Pretty neato. Check out all the other projects the folks over at Native Energy have up their sleeve over at the Native Energy website.

This morning, we were graced with the smell of waffles wafting through our offices. It had been a while since the last installment of Waffle Wednesday but with the Breast Cancer Fund's Peak Hike happening this weekend, we figured it was a good excuse to raise a few dollars for our friends over at the BCF in exchange for some scruptious waffles. Here's a look at what was included in this morning's spread:
