Team RideClean moves up to Continental level for 2011!

David Brown - Tuesday, October 12, 2010

Team RideClean, an elite American cycling team based out of Phoenix, Arizona, has registered as a USA Cycling professional team and a UCI Continental team for the coming season!

Fluid has been a partner of the team for two years now and couldn’t be more proud of the group’s efforts. As the official recovery drink of choice for Team RideClean, Fluid plays a role in supporting RideClean’s mission of promoting clean sports. This company promotes drug-free and ethical sports practices on the professional and amateur level through an educational outreach program. Their goal is to build a legacy of young athletes who understand the importance of ethics as they progress through the ranks. They also know that healthy, effective nutrition is a key element to safely competing at such a high level year after year. This is where Fluid is always proud to be of service.

We can’t wait to see what RideClean accomplishes at the Continental level and beyond and we’re honored to be a part of the journey. Congratulations RideClean, you’ve earned it!

A busy Fluid weekend! Leipheimer's GranFondo in NorCal, Magic Mountain Man Triathlon in SoCal

Customer Service - Friday, October 08, 2010


Fall is here and the season never ends!

Fluid is proud and excited to be heading out to Levi Leipheimer's King Ridge GranFondo presented by RadioShack this weekend in Santa Rosa, California! This awesome ride has three routes of varying distance and difficulty covering the beautiful coastal roads north of the San Francisco Bay Area. All three courses have been sold out for awhile now so if you're registered, get excited for ice cold Fluid on tap at the finish line (whenever Fluid is there, you know we hook you up)! If you didn't sign up in time, they're always looking for more volunteers. A lot goes into this ride and proceeds benefit all kinds of charities and organizations, from the local Forget Me Not Farm to Lance Armstrong's LiveStrong Foundation. So whatever your involvement, it's definitely going to be a good time!

For more info check out http://www.levisgranfondo.com/.




But if you're a bit further south this weekend, we've got another great event for you.


Fluid is also a very proud supporter of the Sport Chalet Magic Mountain Man Triathlon at Castaic Lake! If you're unfamiliar with the venue, Castaic Lake is the gateway to the beautiful open spaces north of the L.A. area. Renegade Racing does an incredible job with this race, presenting Long Course and Olympic distance options and even 5k and 10k runs! And of course, the folks of M3 truly love to give back. The race is a supporter of Help The Children, a non-profit humanitarian relief organization that provides food, clothing and personal hygiene supplies to those in need
www.HelptheChildren.org

So head out Saturday for packet pickup and expo, then race on Sunday. And after conquering the mountains, refresh and repair yourself with ice cold Fluid on tap!

See you outside and active this weekend!

Fluid Team Highlight: Team DART NuuN Adventure Race Team

David Brown - Tuesday, June 22, 2010


Fluid is proud to announce a long-term relationship with Team Dart Nuun Adventure Racing! This fine group of ladies and gentlemen have raced all over the world with great success. They specialize in adventure racing, and we are excited that they have found success with our product! Welcome to the family!

Here is a little more about them from their website!

Our adventure racing team was formed in 2002 in Seattle, Washington. Since then, we've competed in hundreds of races and have become one of the most successful teams in North America by winning premiere races from Canada to Mexico as well as leaving our mark on the world stage.
The team is made up of working professionals that are passionate about the sport. We are committed to training and racing at an elite level and competing against the best teams in the world. We are also dedicated to fostering the growth of adventure racing through our presentations, clinics, race directing, and online resources.

Although we are focused primarily on adventure racing, many of us compete individually in other sports like endurance moutain biking, ultra running, kayaking, endurance swimming, triathlons, and rogaining (Glenn Rogers is a National Rogain Champion).

Our goals are to foster the development of the sport and continue to be a recognized national and international team by successfully competing in the world’s toughest races.
