WHY I LOVE LEADING A QUIET LIFE OF....

I'VE READ WALDEN POND numerous times.  More than any quote, I remember the raw feeling of wanting to be alone with nature, and few visitors. It didn't inspire me, as much as...

... tug at my core.

Thoreau's observed horror of living like the masses...

... a quiet life of desperation...

terrified me.

I would venture on my own.
Against the grain,
my path.

Work.
Nature.
Solitude.

It is easy to see the allure of a long bike ride, with a few core friends...

... and the call of a solo ascent up a long, desolate single track.

To summit,
with the sun as companion.

We are the few...

... living a life of silent perspiration.

I was thinking about that today as I quickly staged and shot numerous photos for our website.

All the time and thought that went into the first products...

... and the beauty and craftsmanship we produce right here in the USA.

That's also my kind of perspiration.

For example, these special bags for Triathletes to set up at each transition area.  My dear friend Will Howard was an exceptional Ironman competitor and helped me with these bags and the labeling.  Then Noel and I worked on beautiful color options... this is Brick.

Before you skip away, you should know something...

... I'm also sweating something else.

For this first time in 5 years, our costs have risen to the point where we are going to have some price adjustments starting 10/9...

... so, you're thinking about getting something for someone awesome for the holidays, now's a great time.
