This week was our final week of the Bear Naked New England Summer tour. We had an amazing time this summer and I hope all of you who stopped by our tent for a snack or a grocery bag enjoyed our presence too! There were a lot of familiar faces at these last couple events, with multiple people telling us they had seen us at different events over the summer and were excited to see us again!
Friday we went out to the last Bike Friday at the City Hall Plaza in downtown Boston. This terrific green initiative is supported by the Mayor and Hub on Wheels, and it encourages commuters to ride their bikes in to work instead of driving! We were excited to make it out to the last Bike Friday of the season and hope to join in the fun again next year!
Sunday we wrapped up the tour with one final event up in Kennebunk, Maine- the Fireman’s Triathlon! It was a gorgeous day and we had a blast serving parfaits and snack packs to the participants and the enthusiastic crowd! At first the free pancakes served by the American Legion seemed a bit tough to compete with, but as tales of our free parfaits and shopping bags snaked through the crowd we soon had people running up to our table in droves! One woman even exclaimed that her “daughter is ignoring her pancakes and eating my parfait- I came back to see if I could get her one of her own!” We of course obliged and were happy to serve her, her daughter, and the rest of this great crowd!
So thats about it folks- thanks for helping us make this summer truly awesome! As we always say- keep Living Bear Naked!
Peace
Lindsay and Jim

This week we went up to Salem, MA for the Witches Cup on Wednesday and to Beverly, MA for the Beverly Grand Prix on Thursday! Both of these Bike races were awesome events with a great crew of participants, tons of fans to cheer them on, and lots of love for the Bear Naked granola parfaits we were handing out.
We met a guy who had just got back from a trip to Mexico and had a sketch of an Agave plant (one of the key ingredients in our Mango Agave Almond flavored granola!). A group of the bikers were participants in both events and had a trip to the Cape planned for the weekend for a multi-day bike tour- now thats living Bear Naked!

Over the weekend we went out to support the Pan Mass Challenge- a 2 day bike-a-thon that supports cancer research through the Jimmy Fund! There were over 5000 riders, who raised over $30 million this year alone, and the ride started in Sturbridge, MA and ended in Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod!
We were there in the mornings prior to the ride as part of the breakfast buffet (and let me tell ya- bikers riding 75 miles a day can definitely eat!) Instead of our fabulous granola and yogurt parfaits, we were there serving our brand new BEAR NAKED CEREAL!! It was exciting to be there to cheer on the riders and help them fuel there day!
At the Day 2 breakfast one rider came up for a bowl of cereal and said “Bear Naked got me through the first day, hopefully it will get me through to the end!” With 2 Bear Naked Cereal flavors at breakfast- Banana Nut and Cranberry Raisin - and sample packs of granola and at the rest stops I’m glad we were there to support this rider and all of the riders through their 150 mile journey!

The Charles River Wheelmen are the largest cycling club in New England with over 2000 active members and this past weekend we went out to their Climb to the Clouds Summer Century Bike Ride! The club, and their Wednesday Morning ride were featured in The Boston globe this past week. This was the second of their 3 annual century rides. Riders leave from 2 locations for rides varrying from 45 to 100 miles. We supplied 500 samples and coupons for all riders at one of the water stops and the start / finish for the riders from Nashoba Regional H.S.
We set up to offer parfaits, for the riders doing the longer distances as they returned to the parking lot of Concord / Carlisle Regional H.S. a stone’s throw from historic and picturesque Walden Pond. A Bear Naked sponsored athlete named Liz stopped by with her boyfriend as they walked back from a swim in preparation for their tri in Lake Placid, NY next weekend. Great job to everyone out there!

The Venus de Miles was one of our women’s only bike rides, here in Colorado. We were honored to serve the participants and supporters of the other causes there, including the Green house Scholars, an organization providing education, mentorship, and scholarships to under-resourced students.
We were greeted with one such joyous biker, who entered our station with what seemed to be a baby-holster…carrying her loving pet…wearing sun goggles. Check the pic; probably the funniest things we’ve seen yet

What a fun week out here in Boston! On Wednesday we went out to the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Fitchburg, MA for the Longsjo Classic Registration evening! The riders were gearing up for this 4-day Pro/Am Bicycling Competition! The riders were excited for a parfait snack and we were thrilled to see the pros from all over the East Coast and even some from Canada!
On Sunday we were there to support the bikers and their fans with parfaits and snack packs during the grand finale races! It was an exciting day with our booth right next to the race course- only 100m from the finish line! The highlight of the day was when the Women’s Overall Gold Medal Winner and her teammate stopped by and doubled up on Bear Naked Granola parfaits- they definitely earned it!
