CLIF® Bar CrossVegas, Chamois Butt’r and Cyclocross Magazine have teamed up to give you 10 chances to win a CrossVegas and Chamois Butt’r swag bag, and a chance at our grand prize. In the next 10 weeks, we’ll have weekly contests for the prize packs, and at the end of the 10 weeks, one of our winners will be selected at random for the grand prize, so make sure you enter every week for a chance to win big!
Your second challenge: How do you explain (politely!) chamois cream to non-cyclists? Entering is easy: just leave your answer (preferably hilarious) in the comments section below!
Last week’s winner was Chris Jensen who answered he’d like to see Vladimir Putin race CrossVegas.
Why? “I want to see Vladimir Putin race. Because after wrestling a bear to the death, finding ancient ruins on the bottom of the Black Sea, defeating Chuck Norris in a martial arts tournament, beating Barack Obama at nuclear brinksmanship and making democracy cower in fear with a single brush of his steely gaze (his eyeballs are actually made of steel, if you were wondering), the only thing left for him is to best Sven Nys at bicycles on a soccer field in Las Vegas.”
A few of our other favorites included:
“I’d like to see Chewbacca race CrossVegas. First off, not that many Wookies race cross, which I find rather odd since coming from the planet Kashyyk the environment is well suited for cross training. I think that he’d be able to bunnyhop any of the the barriers w/ ease. Also if he had any bike issues he could easily fix the bike (seriously, we’ve seen him work on that bucket of bolts that did the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs) perhaps even while riding it. Lastly, I know he would win since the other racers would let the Wookie win for fear of having their arms pulled out of their sockets. I’m not saying Chewie would do, I’m just saying…” -jsraindancer
“I really, really, really really, really, really want to see Sven Nys race there. Oh wait—he is!!!” -tpalmer
“I want to see my wife race. Maybe then she will see how much fun it is and how excrutiatingly hard it can be. Maybe then she will stop poking fun at me for being so lousy at ’cross.” -weiserst
So many great responses—keep ’em coming!
