A May $600 Gadget Giveaway!

DSC_1263

This is the last giveaway.

I mean, the last giveaway until the annual Giveaway Extravaganza next month of course!  I’ll let you read all about what that madness was like last year, but for now, we’ve got to get down to business for this giveaway!

The winner will get a $600 credit to CleverTraining.com, my most excellent partner in this giveaway crime.  By supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on the vast majority of what they sell, or use their updated VIP program for anything else.  If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the new Garmin FR735XT (in stock!), to a Cycliq Fly12 camera/light, this crazy foot massager thingy (really) or heck, even a chunk towards SRAM eTAP or the new CycleOps Hammer Trainer.  Whatever floats your boat.

How to enter:

Simply leave a short description of what your training plans are for the weekend ahead.  For those in the US, it’s a long weekend – so substituting your BBQ’ing plans for training plans is acceptable.

The reason you need a short description of ‘what’ is that if you just put a simple one word answer (i.e.5k or hot dog), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters.  And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM.  This is a pulled pork kinda place.  Got all that?

Good luck!

The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, May 30th, 2016 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time.  Winner will be selected randomly.  One entry per person.  The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock.

    Gonna smash a ride monday then smash a bbq as recovery.

  49. Yonah

    I’m still recovering from an knee scoping – so not much training – I think I might go to the park and get a little baseball practice in with my sons (no running for me, of course). While my knee isn’t ready to run on yet, I can finally bend it far enough to get into the catcher’s crouch.

  50. Nick

    I’ve got an hour long spin class each day – I’d rather be biking outside, but no bike makes that tough…

    Going to try to squeeze a run in too

  51. Hugo

    Saturday a race prep and Sunday a century in France.

  52. Tim Stevens

    I will be riding a fast-ish 30 miles on Saturday, and then on Sunday we’ll be getting in a leisurely 60 miles on the bike. Possibly a trail run followed by some relaxing grilling out on Monday.

  53. No big plans…6-7 miles on Saturday and a shorter run Sunday. May take Monday off.

  54. Adi Gerblich

    A 60 mile training ride. Aiming to get 15 miles/hr mean, with about 3,000 feet climbing.

    Family race tomorrow (called Kids Kilometers) then running and riding the rest of the weekend, culminating in a 50k+ trail training run on Monday

  61. Jesper Kenneth Olsen

    Trying to get time for a short run but will must likely have do do with moving furniture which is not a bad exercise just not as fun.

  62. steve

    I plan on running in a 8k road-race !

  63. Granger

    Probably not riding much since we are forecast for rain for the weekend. Put a damper on my 20 mile commute today, giving in to the car (I can only handle a wet chamois for so long). I do have errands to run after work, so not a complete waste. What I will do this weekend is tinker on a few bikes, replacing the cassette and chain on my old Cannondale M800, tweaking the new commuter with wider tires and new mud guards, and getting my main road bike’s cables replaced. Would love to snag a new Cycliq Fly 12 for the commuter, if only to document my demise by autos! I have a Fly 6 and love it.

  64. Chris Jones

    If the ground is dry enough, I’ll be doing some mountain biking around the family’s cabin in Virginia

  65. Brent kendall

    Nothing like a good ole bbq after a nice 4 hour ride.

  66. Michael Rosengrant

    I will be doing a long slow run on Sunday to test out my new VAHR, which is supposed to arrive today.

  79. Rogge

    As I’m able to run again kind of injury free this year I’m picking up distance little by little. It will probably be a 6k run and some core excercises.
