48×15 Volume 002

The second issue of 48×15 is out and inside its pages is a contest to win a pair of H+Son TB14s. Here’s how to enter:

“We spent the last month trying to find the best way to tell you guys that we think you’re really great for reading our magazine. We didn’t want to come on too strong with ‘we love you’, and we didn’t want it to get weird by suggesting that you meet our parents. I think we settles at a happy place in the middle – giving away super awesome H+SON rims! There are only a few quick steps to get yourself entered to win:

1. Read Volume 002 of 48×15 Magazine (look at that, you’re already done step 1!)

2. Take a picture of yourself while you’re getting your read on. It can be the physical magazine, on our website, at issuu.com/48×15, on your computer, on your phone, your grandma reading it to you while you fall asleep . . doesn’t matter!

3. Post your photo on our Facebook page at facebook.com/48×15

4. The photo with the most likes gets the rims!

We’ll ship these anywhere in the world, it doesn’t matter if you’re in Tahiti or Timbuktu. See you on Facebook!”

Sweet. I love mine! Best of luck to the entrants.

I don’t know what you’re up to this weekend but I just joined this challenge from Rapha on Strava.

TURKEY TAKEOFF

This Thanksgiving holiday, don’t sit around and pile on the calories, ride them away with Rapha and Strava’s Turkey Takeoff.

Thanksgiving usually means eating and drinking as much as you possibly can. But Rapha and Strava are challenging you to ride as much as you can over the holiday to take off that turkey and burn 9000 calories* between Wednesday the 23rd and Sunday 27th November. Riders who complete the challenge will receive a Rapha Turkey Takeoff badge.

It’s time for the Turkey Takeoff.

Get your TT badge:
To receive the official Turkey Takeoff badge, please create a rapha account and email your home address to turkey@rapha.cc along with any written, photographed or digital documentation. We will blog the best submissions.

Mission Workshop: Win a Gobi Merino Wool Beanie

merino-wool-beanie-1.jpg

Mission Workshop just launched a killer contest to promote their Gobi beanies. Here are the details:

“The Gobi is made from 360g New Zealand Merino Wool with added stretch making it the perfect piece for colder winter rides. Retails for $40. View on MissionWorkshop.com
To win one, post your best over-stuffed Vandal or Rambler backpack pic on the Mission Workshop Facebook Wall and the top five posts with the most “Likes” will win a beanie. We’ll pick the winners on Monday Nov. 14.

Now don’t think this can be just any old photo, we’re thinking something like a tree’s worth of over-ripe bananas or hundreds of Barbie heads. Get creative, show us and the rest of the MW fans something we haven’t seen before.

If you don’t have a Mission Workshop bag, you can still pick up a Gobi. Enter the promo code UNICORN at checkout and get one FREE when you order any bag. We only set aside 25 for this promo so don’t miss out.”
