Venus de Miles
On August 29, 2010, thousands of us will come together to enjoy the indescribable exhilaration of Venus de Miles bicycle ride in Colorado. The bike ride, festival, sisterhood, and inspiration that define Venus de Miles are back, bigger and better than ever!
Venus de Miles is a lot of things: a way to help young people and communities, a celebration of sisterhood and a whole lot of fun. But one thing it isn’t is a race. So, if you want a trophy for crossing the finish line first, you’ll have to bring your own.
This year’s Venus de Miles features three different courses to accommodate anyone’s skill level. Choose between the calf-cramping 67-mile ride, the heart pounding 51-mile course, or a relaxing 33-mile jaunt through the scenic countryside. www.venusdemiles.com

Hilleberg Tents
Hilleberg tents have been the top choice of discerning outdoor travelers around the world for over 35 years, and with good reason: They are utterly dependable in any season, comfortably spacious, and yet are still remarkably lightweight. Hilleberg, being family owned and run, is a company wholly guided by our family passion: being outdoors and traveling in the wilderness. So our goal is always to make the kind of tents that we would be happy to use ourselves, and that we would be proud to have our best friends use, as well.
Today, we offer 27 models of all season tents. All have linked inner and outer tents – an idea we pioneered – for far quicker, more efficient pitching. All are conceived and developed in northern Sweden, and go through rigorous, real world testing before they are brought to market. And all offer the ideal balance of low weight, extraordinary strength and remarkable comfort. www.hilleberg.com
