Well, I don’t usually blog about my own doings, but, for this special occasion, I think I’ll make an exception. I recently entered a contest with Clif Bar, and, to my absolute amazement: I WON. This December, a friend and I will be heading to Patagonia, for the cycling adventure of a lifetime. Did I mention I got a ton of Clif and Luna Bars to top it off?! Did I mention I can hardly contain my excitement?Readers of this blog probably know that long bicycle rides make you hungry. Long, self-contained days can turn even the most demure cyclist into an unstoppable, calorie-consuming monster. But it’s the pits when you’re starving, and, upon stopping at a scenic overlook for a snack, you’re presented with an unpleasant choice: either crushed trail mix from a few days ago, or a tasteless “energy bar.” Clif Bar to the rescue! I hate to sound like a pusher here, but their organic bars, gels, chews, and drinks are without a doubt the best tasting, most nutritious cycling snacks I’ve ever tasted. Personal favorite? Mojo Mountain Mix.
Best, Clif Bar donates 1% of their net sales to charitable causes, so I can feel good about myself while I’m refueling. So, thanks Clif Bar — for the fantastic product and for my upcoming trip! And thanks, blog readers, for humoring me as I gush about my impending adventure. I’ll send pictures…
