Just got back last night from yet another business trip. Totally wiped out...today I am taking a "mental health day" (I hate that term)to recharge and rejuvenate. I'm going for a mtb ride by myself today come hell or high water. Really looking forward to it so I can clear my head.
Last night I caught up on some blog and news reading. Here are a couple of things worth a look:
A few weeks ago I posted about Cannondale's corporate blogging program. Leslie Jump of the MarketerBlog picked up on this and asks readers to evaluate the program as either a savvy consumer generated media campaign or a missed opportunity. I left a comment with my thoughts.
The Luna Chix are expanding their cycling program beyond the elite level. VeloNews has a nice article detailing the Chix new ambassador program to encourage more women riders to join the sport (found via The Steeps). Also included in the article are rider profiles for the 2006 team. Shonny Vanlandingham, pregnant Marla Streb, and Katerina Hasunova remain with the team and are joined by newcomers Georgia Gould and Jimena Florit. Alison Dunlap will remain with the team as a spokesperson/ambassador.
Endurance mountain bike racing gets a boost with a new National Mountain Biking Ultra Endurance Series. Six grass roots endurance events have come together to form the series...read about it in Cycling News.
Soiled Chamois launched a mashup podcast.
Ok...that should keep you busy for a while...I'm off to ride...I'm sure I'll be dragging all scooby-doo zombie-style.
