It was an awesome week in the North East! The weather has been a little up and down, but the athletes out here are truly astounding and kept running and riding through the rain and cold- blowing us away with their perseverance! It was the least we could do to be there at the finish line to hand out some Bear Naked Granola and yogurt parfaits, with yummy blackberries to top it off!

We started the week by heading over to MetroRock – an evening each at their Newburyport and Everett locations. What a blast! One climber commented that our parfaits were “good power-fuel!” to keep him going during his climb, and he liked them so much he tried 3 different flavors! Great gym, good people, and good vibes!

We spent an evening out at Boston Sports and Ski Club’s Basketball League and the next morning got up early for Mayor Menino’s Bay State Bike Week Festival! It was wonderful to be out supporting bikers as they finished their ride in to work, and they were all quite happy to have a granola breakfast!

On Sunday Jim and I split up and each went to an exciting community event! Jim went out to Stafford, CT’s Soapstone Mountain Trail Run and I went down to the Charles River Wheelmen’s Spring Century Ride! The cold (in CT) and pouring rain (in MA) couldn’t stop these dedicated athletes! Good times (and granola!) were had by all!
