SKINourishment p/b Paceline Projects: Paceline Projects Team Car-tricked out.

We like to think that we are pretty environmentally and socially conscious here, growing our own food, supporting local business, commuting to work and running errands on our bicycles. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Captain Planet was a childhood hero. Let's be honest though, jumping on a plane to fly across the country for a bike race? Getting in the car in order to go ride a bike? Truly environmentally conscious? (Guilty shaking of the head.)

However, we are aware of our impact and do make a effort to offset some of our bike related splurges: natural cleaners to get the Strada SLR looking sparkly after a rainy ride, if we pack Honey Stinger waffles and gels in our back pockets, we absolutely pack 'em out, recycling old tires, tubes (did you know you can recycle energy gel packets too?) and of course, have tricked the car out with a sweet RockyMounts bike rack in order to increase our capacity to carpool to races while still maintaining fuel efficiency and using less natural resources.

Paceline Projects team car with RockyMounts rack made the mountainous trip to Jackson WY averaging 44 mpg.

We are very proud to have RockyMounts, a local Boulder company, as our sponsor this year. RockyMounts shares our passion for bikes and adventure, engineering some sweet bike racks (and ski racks) that are very easy to use. The RockyMounts hitchrack was incredibly easy to install and I'm very pleased to announce that we had a very successful trip from SLC, UT to Idaho Falls, ID (for a 2nd place finish at the Allan Butler Crit) then on to Jackson, WY (for a sweet ride with Matt, cousin Ben Rossman, and friend Gweneal over Teton Pass) and back home (for work). How efficient were we during this almost 600 mile trip? 44 MPG. Not too shabby in the mountains.
