I have been reading Zanne Runs and Rides a little bit over the last few weeks and thought now may be a good time to reach out. You are doing an excellent job of creating community and interest with your writing.<BR/><BR/>My name is Ryan and I'd like to know if you'd be interested in trying-out and reviewing (on your blog) an innovative new laundry solution for activewear clothing - ProWash activewear detergent. You seem to ride a lot and I'm guessing this new product may resonate with you...<BR/><BR/>As you already know, most athletic clothing these days is designed to retain sweat and maintain a dry feel to the skin, enhancing athletic performance and experience. However, when these same clothes are washed after a workout, ordinary laundry detergents are unable to remove the odors and bacteria, leaving them stuck in the nooks and crannies of high performance fabric. Fortunately, the creators of Dry Cleaner's Secret have engineered an innovative solution: ProWash. Now, consumers have a product they can trust to quickly and easily clean and eliminate odors, bacteria and stains from activewear clothing. <BR/><BR/>Do you think you would be interested in trying it out and posting a review about it on your blog? If so, all I need is your name and mailing address and I'll mail you a full-sized container of ProWash to experience for yourself. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind consideration and I look forward to hearing from you. Keep up the great work with your blog!<BR/><BR/>Warm regards,<BR/><BR/>Ryan<BR/><BR/>r2cgroup@gmail.com<BR/><BR/>PS - Here is a recent news article that articulately explores ProWash in detail:<BR/>+ http://www.forbes.com/businesswire/feeds/businesswire/2008/10/13/businesswire20081013005146r1.html<BR/><BR/>Ryan's Email: r2cgroup@gmail.comRyanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186102435585071810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341375666857022597.post-57098812564316066222008-11-17T17:33:00.000-05:002008-11-17T17:33:00.000-05:00lord, pamster, it was indeed cold yesterday! and i think, at just the moment you asked me to tell about the race, i posted it!<BR/><BR/>a word on the embrocation: the 'yellow' stuff i used in this post is good for 45 degrees and above. the 'red' stuff good for below 45. i did not have the 'red' stuff for the race yesterday. wish i did. will be ordering it very soon!!zannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17169968339980800861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341375666857022597.post-63337076606617669382008-11-17T17:16:00.000-05:002008-11-17T17:16:00.000-05:00I could have used some of that stuff on my ride yesterday.

It took about 20-30 min to work, but then....WOW! Good stuff for a cold rainy ride. The only problems were that every bit of dirt out there was stuck to me. Also its tough to wash off. That's totally outweighed by the awesome warm feeling. Another cool thing is that dancing at the spearhead concert re-activated it. I had this cool, warm sensation that was not totally from dancing with the wife! I ordered some of the mad alchemy stuff to compare with. Glad you posted this. It really made me think about this.bsegalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02116400654948549772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341375666857022597.post-45978497960468079842008-11-13T19:56:00.000-05:002008-11-13T19:56:00.000-05:00Oh, Woodsy.

I thought they were the ones Steven had borrowed from me. Gasp! Sorry. I will wash and return asap.<BR/>Now on to more important stuff-what kind of embrocation and which one do you reccomend? I need to check this out. Seiler was talking about this yesterday.

Still undecided but might give it a try this winter. My big score last year was toe warmers thanks to Beth Mason over at Beth's bikes.

The best. I'm not a big fan of "warm up oil" or "starter oil" - that's what we used to call it. It apparently increases the blood flow. Under your skin! That's away from the muscle, were you want the blood to flow. Don't know if it's true but I believed it and stopped using it. Love the smell of the stuff, though.Grooverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05746451980347654639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341375666857022597.post-42541341570780227232008-11-08T22:06:00.000-05:002008-11-08T22:06:00.000-05:00house: i can't wait to hear about your visit to connecticut! and yes, put the stuff in fatty's stocking. its' amazing.<BR/><BR/>judi: so far so good on our cycling stuff not winding up all over the house - cause before the room devoted to all things cycling, we did have stuff all over kitchen table - am hoping dedicated space in house nips that stuff in the bud.<BR/><BR/>nat: you need it. get it. it rocks.zannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17169968339980800861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341375666857022597.post-75332370872770479982008-11-08T21:03:00.000-05:002008-11-08T21:03:00.000-05:00bike room???
