"Let's plunge ourselves into the roar of time, the whirl of accident; may pain and pleasure, success and failure, shift as they will. It's only action that can make a man"

Mint Chocolate GU is Coming

September 15, 2008 Mint Chocolate GU will begin to ship to your local bike shop. That isn't all either. 10% of every purchase will go to the Challenged Athletes Foundation. "This group has been supporting the dreams and aspirations of physically challenged athletes since 1994."

But after you eat this mint chocolaty "energy" what do you do with the empty packet? Eat it? Throw it down on the road? Neither...stash it back in your jersey. For every 50 "empties" you save and then send GU, they will send you 5 FREE GUs back! Download the coupon and check it out.

TTDBYD List

President of Giant Bicycle Corp. has resigned to start checking off items on his Things To Do Before You Die List. I agree, sometimes we have to step back from work or even the current life we live in order to start living. But this TTDBYD list must be made, maybe not even written down, but just created in your mind somewhere. After all our physical lives are too short to sit behind a desk all day dreaming of what we "could have done."

The rest of the world considers football or futbol or any other translation a sport of lightly clothed men running around using only their feet to control a game played with a round ball. However American football means heavily padded men running around on a 100 yard field looking to run over as many people as possible with an egg-like ball. And we get to use our feet a little bit too. Below was one of the most amazing American Football games ever recorded in sports history. Congrats to the guys from Boone, NC. Sometimes words speak louder than picture.
