Lobsters can't wait to get their claws on Bear Naked!
The 2010 Bear Naked tour is officially on and teams from Denver, Seattle and Boston met up over the weekend in San Francisco at Bay to Breakers for a crazy kick-start to this year’s adventures. The annual 12K footrace starts out strong with a batch of serious runners and keeps rollin’ all Sunday with crazy crowds of costumed party animals.

Bay to Breakers is a May-time Mardi Gras/Halloween fest and Bear Naked was there to see everything from joggers in Santa suits and Lady Gaga fashions to brave bodies in swim suits and “birthday” suits!

The patient crowd waits for their granola surprise
The granola moved fast and everyone was pumped to try out Bear Naked’s newest flavor, Maple Pecan. Add a little vanilla yogurt, fresh strawberries and blueberries and the streets were loaded with people hungry for some parfait rejuvenation.

Remember Goldilocks-- cups and spoons are compostable!

There’s never a dull moments at a San Francisco festival and the Bear Naked crew was proud to be a part of the madness.

We were out on the Cape for the weekend to support the runners of the Falmouth Road Race and the attendees of the Naukabout Music Festival! Naukabout is a clothing brand and a term that means “to relax and enjoy life’s best experiences”- which is what the music festival is all about! The concert vibed very well with the Live Bear Naked culture and everyone loved the Bear Naked granola and yogurt parfaits we were giving away!
The festival goers spent the afternoon chilling in the grass, listening to music, playing games (frisbee, hula hoop, and bean bag toss are a few that come to mind), and of course grabbing a snack when they were hungry! Our tent was located right next to the side stage which was a pretty perfect spot to hear some great tunes and share the granola love with the crowds that gathered for each artist.
We met some pretty neat people including some guys doing yoga on top of a rope tied between 2 trees! One of these yogis was hungry so he grabbed a parfait and jumped back on the rope and did some poses while eating his Bear Naked!!
One of the highlights of the day was taking Bear Naked parfaits back into the ‘artists only’ area and serving granola to the bands! We even got to walk out on to the stage and serve parfaits to the Ryan Montbleau Band while they were setting up! The drummer later told us “your parfaits saved my life! I had 2 right before we played our set- I think I would have passed out otherwise!”
We’re so glad we could be there to provide Bear Naked snacks to Rusted Root, the Ryan Montbleau Band, Emily Elbert, all the other artists, and the awesome crowd who made the Naukabout Music Festival such a great day!

The Fat Tire Triathlon is a 1/2 mile swim in the clear waters of Horsetooth Reservoir (Eltuk Bay), followed by a 12 mile single-track bike over rolling terrain and across valley bridges through Lory State Park, finishing with a fun and challenging 4.8 mile (8k) run on dirt trails!
Watching these athletes chow on our parfaits made me realize just how many calories these guys burn off. We had one guy munch on our granola parfaits 6 times. Hungry triathletes + limited granola supply = no more granola. These guys ate us dry. We were psyched that everybody got to sample and left with not only a grin about the tri, but a nice, granola-splashed smile.

Talk about getting dirty. After this silly duathlon had been completed, we were greeted by Charlie Chapmans, Talking Bananas, French Maids, and Ninjas to name a few of the many characters that tried our parfaits. As we brought only a limited supply of reusable bags, we had created a huge buzz about both the parfaits and our baggies. People were willing to trade certain articles of clothing for a bag and even a pair of muddy shoes. This race was a ton of fun and the scenery was absolutely stunning. Everybody from little tikes to grandparents were running and cycling together in this amusing race to the finish line.

The Urban Assault Ride is the biggest bike scavenger hunt series in the world. You and a teammate will take to the streets on a city wide bike adventure. Plot your own course to various checkpoints around the area. There are routine physical and mental obstacles throughout the length of the course.
Beer and Bear Naked granola parfaits: the new burger and fries
We met some ridiculously outfitted teams with either ’80s spandex, trippy hippie colorways, and/or Harley buffs. A wide spectrum of people raced with big wheels and accessories up the hizzie! You guys were great!!
