Ryders, Ryders EVERYWHERE!! (A Giveaway!)

The great people at Ryders Eyewear want you to try out not 1, not 2, but 3 different pairs of their sunglasses. So they're offering 3 pairs to one lucky reader of mine! Yay you! ;)

If you've seen a photo of me in sunglasses over the last year, there's a 99% chance that they were a pair of my Ryders. Here's a few photos proving I love my Ryders "Drills:"


5K PR in March


Falls Duathlon in May


Waseca Triathlon in August


Wearing my wife's pink "Drills" before going snowshoeing a few weeks ago
(I forgot MY "Drills" at home....)


Ryders wants you to have your choice of 3 different pairs of shades:

• FIRST: Choose a pair of these SWEET "throw-backs" that are part of Ryders 25th Anniversary celebration:


"20five" neon
(SWEET JESUS ON A BICYCLE THESE ARE AWESOME!!!)


"20five" black


"Awol" pink


"Awol" black


"Decoy"


"Grindhouse" blue


"Grindhouse" rasta


"Grindhouse" yellow fade


"Shiner"

Sweetness, right? Right.


• SECOND: Choose one of the designs of the new interchangeable "Tweaker" SLs. This pair of shades retails for $59.99 and comes with a set of 3 interchangeable lenses (14%, 47% AND 93% VLT).


"Tweaker" black


"Tweaker" yellow fade


• THIRD: Choose one of the designs of the "Defcon" shades ($39.99 - $69.99):


"Defcon" white with 57% VLT


"Defcon" black with 17% VLT

So that's up to $169.97 in sweet, sweet shades from the wonderful people at Ryders Eyewear!! Who DOESN'T want that?!?


HERE’S HOW TO ENTER TO WIN:

You can enter by simply commenting on this post, or you can earn an "extra" entry by becoming a fan of Ryders on Facebook and/or by tweeting to Ryders.

- Check back next week to see if you won! (Especially if you don’t have a blogger account because I have no way of contacting you.)
- If the winner does not contact me within 24 hours after being announced, I'll be forced to draw a new winner. So check back and KEEP checking back in case the winner is a no-show!!


One final big THANKS to the people at Outside PR and Ryders Eyewear! You guys are great! Thanks!!

Oh, and PERSONALLY, I think the neon "20fives" would REALLY match my "Tutti-Frutti" shorts. If you disagree, you're wrong. Deal with it.



(If that GIF makes no sense to you, click here to see why it's SUPPOSED to be funny. I find myself explaining WHY I'm funny all the time. And if I have to explain it, then I'm not really that funny. D'oh.)

Go "fan" Ryders on Facebook, follow Ryders on Twitter, and leave a comment! Or just comment! NOW! Thanks everyone!

  90. Hey, Steve! I was already a fan of Ryders on FB and following them on twitter! But I posted my status and tweeted my love! Also, it's officially my 29th birthday and I'm not above trying to use this as a reason for another entry! At the very least, you should feel indignation for me as just yesterday my 91 year old grandmother told me that if I spent half as much time trying to find a man as I did training I'd have been married years ago!

    So three entries if you hate birthdays, four if you pity this poor, spinster triathlete!

    -Beki!
