If our agency had a favorite sport, it would have two wheels, and a disturbing propensity for spandex. Our office is covered with helmets, protective gear and bikes. We refer to Wednesday as Mountain Bike Wednesday. We’ve even created our own jersey for the Echo-Factory “bike team.”
So, when we found out that one of our clients (and friends), Mike Wilson had qualified for the Race Across America (RAAM), we wanted to help out.
RAAM is one of the toughest races in the world. Mike had to qualify to compete by finishing The Heart of the South 500, riding 517 miles non-stop through parts of Alabama and Georgia in 35 hours and 50 minutes. It didn’t hurt that he won that race either.
At 3,000 miles, RAAM is 30% longer than the entire Tour de France, but unlike the Tour, RAAM isn’t a stage race. It’s continuous, which means once the race begins, the clock doesn’t stop until racers reach the finish line. And, here’s the real kicker – RAAM athletes have to finish the race in about half the time allotted for the Tour.
So, for around nine to ten days in June, Mike will more or less live on his bike as he rides from Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland.
Frankly, we’re not surprised Mike’s competing in RAAM. He’s co-owner of Kali Protectives, one of the leading protective gear companies in the U.S. When he’s not cycling, he’s talking about cycling or thinking up ways to improve cycling performance.
With Mike gearing up for one of the biggest rides of his life, we wanted to do something to show our support. We offered to help him train but he kindly shut down that idea. The guy’s prepping to ride 350 miles a day, we’re lucky if the office as a whole pedals more than 50 miles a week. So, we decided to help him out with some advertising instead.
We started out by designing Mike’s jersey for the ride. The jersey’s a win-win. Mike gets to look cool while he rides and advertise his sponsors to thousands of other racers and fans.
We’ll be helping Mike out more between now and the start of the race. And, come June, we’ll be down in Oceanside to see him off.
We wish all the best to Mike and can’t wait to see how he does in the big race. Check out Mike’s blog for updates on his RAAM training or follow him on twitter and facebook.

<a >louis vuitton replica handbags</a> Oozing opulence out of every nook and cranny, the lobby incorporates all the elegance of European palaces with classic Roman architecture, with a cream-and-gold marble mosaic floor, a chandelier that once hung in Milan state library, a series of cushy lime-green and gold banquets, fuchsia flowers spilling out from marble troughs, and Versace signature medusa heads embellished on anything and everything. Here, neoclassicism is positively embraced and subtlety is left to the likes of Armani and co. For guys, the lobby of the Palazzo Versace is also the perfect place for ogling women, with Versace-clad model creatures swanning in and out all day long (usually wet from the pool)..

<a >lv replica handbags</a> I am sick and tired of this so called "body image crisis" - here news, people are getting fatter and fatter, some crisis.

<a >cheap louis vuitton bags</a> But surely the point of the "must have" designer accessory is to show it off. Unless you work in a Soho nightclub polishing a pole all night, a designer fuzz seems hardly worth the wax. How do you show off your new designer "shorts"? Will the summer reveal fanny fuzz in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot? If women are still turned away from Henley Regatta for sporting short hems, what would the gate guard think of this? I can imagine the arguments at the entrance now: "But it's not like it's a fake - it is a genuine Chanel - if you bothered to look properly you'd recognise the 'double C's'.".

<a >lv replica handbags</a> They should definitely look at Gilt Man! The quality of the brands is probably the biggest thing as well as a point-of-view around how to style. I think that men who want to look great, care about how they dress and want to make a statement should look at places that are giving them those cues. If a men jacket is on a table or a white wall, then they are just looking to get rid of it.
