The wind was directionally good so I had to take advantage.  Got to 42.6 mph a record for me. 

A great way to get ready for Halloween Candy.

Just so all three are out there.  Looking to do 3 more this year.  Covered Bridges is next event.  I should really add Cliff bars to the Wholesale Snacks page.

JB metric 1 by jbernstein01 at Garmin Connect - Details

My first metric not bad after only 4 months or so of riding.  So now I have a Garmin Edge 800 GPS and linked with Garmin Connect I can analyze my rides, post them to the Candy News Blog as biking is a great way to burn calories (like around 1500 to 2000 on these rides) so I can afford to eat more candy and share that with you.  I know this is kind of stretching the concept of social networking in support of SEO goals but I think it counts as valid and I can kill a few birds with one stone.  Not that I would really kill a bird unless of course it was stealing my chewing gum or candy.

So let the broadcastinig begin.  Remember to like us on Face Book when ever possible.

Wrigley 5 Gum in Short Supply

Wrigley 5 Gum has been in questionable supply for months now.  Dates in the stores were getting old, fresh dates hard to come buy.  However, the situation seems to be getting worse faster than better.  We all know it’s a commodity market and active for sure.  Has anyone else experienced supply shortages for Wrigley 5 Gum?

Kathy H made me do it just so I could eat

Well today as I was sitting and relaxing my girl friend gave me this look like wtf you going to lay on the couch all day?  It was a late night.  So at any rate I got even and we went for a 55 mile bike ride.  Just enough to burn some calories so we could afford some salty snacks potato chips as we shopped in the market for dinner.

 

 

Buy Orbit Gum

The history of Orbit gum dates as far back as 1944, when Wrigley shipped all production of other gum varieties to the Armed Forces overseas for the troops to enjoy.  With the other brands off the market, Wrigley created Orbit, but discontinued it once the war was over and Juicy Fruit, Wrigley’s Spearmint and Doublemint returned home.  Thirty years later in 1976, Orbit came back…but not in the United States.  It was introduced to Germany, Switzerland and Holland.  Orbit did eventually make its way back around to the United States in 2001 with the introduction of Spearmint and Wintermint flavors, and the US came to rely on the gum for that “Just Brushed Clean Feeling.”
