This past weekend we attended The Inaugural San Francisco Triathlon at Alcatraz. Saturday’s expo was windy to say the least. Our granola samples weren’t the only things flying off our tables. Our crates, bags, coupons took off in the wind many times. Their were periods when the Bear Naked tent almost took off like that house in Wizard of Oz! The Bear Naked team stabilized and stood their ground to fuel up the athletes courageous enough to take on the Alcatraz Tri.
Luckily the tri-athletes plea to Aeolus was granted and Sunday mornings race was practically windless. All the awesome athletes survived the escape from Alcatraz and grabbed some Bear Naked goodness at the finish line. Congrats to all the finishers!

TakeYourBike is a not-for-profit organization that was created in an effort to help raise awareness of the many benefits introduced by incorporating commuter cycling into your daily life. We promote the many positive facets of a commuter cyclist’s lifestyle including the health benefits, environmental sustainability, economic impact, and community mentality. The Border2Border tour is to be the first of many actions on our part to build a more active and conscious base of commuters – cyclists and non-cyclists alike.
On September 12, 2010, the TakeYourBike team will ride their bikes from Canada to Mexico in an effort to promote the viability of bicycles as a daily transportation vehicle, the sustainability of the bicycle as a mode of transportation in today’s global climate, and the many other positive facets of incorporating riding a bike into your daily life. Over 6 weeks long in duration, the Border2Border Tour will pass through Seattle, Olympia, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Venice Beach, Los Angeles, Huntington Beach, and San Diego hosting awareness rides, running promotional events at local bike shops, and interviewing members of the commuter cycling community.
I’m thrilled to hear that we’ll be able to take some Bear Naked product out with us on the tour – I have been a fan since this past winter when I first sampled some of your products at an event at Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado. As an endurance athlete myself (I’m a competitive cyclist and triathlete), I agree – the bars do wonders on the long rides. We will be stopping at the
Montlake Bicycle Shop on September 13th and leading a group ride from there at 7. Next stop Olympia and then South!

While most people dream of living on Mercer Island, with it’s picturesque views of Mt. Rainier, Seattle and close proximity to Bellevue the theme of this race is to get off this beautiful foot shaped island. Broken into three stages – typical for triathlons these days – participants will be swimming a half-mile, biking 12 miles, and finishing off on a 2.5-mile run. We will be there handing out delicious Bear Naked parfaits and granola bars. See you on the Rock!

In lieu of sitting in gridlock, wasting precious natural resources, and inhaling carcinogenic fumes, nearly 400 participants were burning calories while building awareness for Puget Sound Blood Center’s Bone Marrow Registry. Divided into teams of five consisting of four swimmers and one kyacker they battled choppy waves and morning hunger on the 2.5 mile course from Medina to Madison beach.
Upon reaching the westerly shores the athletes were greeted by family, friends, and delicious Bear Naked Treats.
