FaceBook Games

Love it or hate it, FaceBook has changed how society communicates.  Growing up in the 70's, we wrote letters and waited anxiously for a response.  With email available, you can receive an answer to your situation within a couple days.  With many businesses creating pages on FaceBook you can connect with someone in an instant and call it a day.

If you have hit the "LIKE" button for your favorite company,  you may have noticed that several of them have giveaways.  They may have you leave a comment , write a caption for a ridiculous photo, tag yourself in a photo, or even write a poem about one of their products.  I look at these contests as an opportunity to try new things and win gear that I can use.

Well, let me tell you about the items I have scored in the last 2 months:

Sweet new meats

Just yesterday I received a SET of Specialized Armadillo tires. These run $65 a piece. I won a set by uploading a photo of myself on a commute.  Super easy.  These tires came at a fantastic time, since I will do my DK200 training on them.  Specialized boasts the "you will die before these tires do".  I will let you know.

Comes in six other colors

Last week I received two things.  The first was from Innate Gear.  I received a Doppio, to drink whatever I want from. I drink coffee from it every morning.   It's smaller than my usual cup, so I have been drinking less caffeine.  The Doppio also holds scotch well.

Great towel for the trainer rides

The second bonus was from  Amino Vital.   They were very generous and sent me a great towel, polo shirt and winter hat {which were quickly scooped up by Trevor}, and a sampling of there product, in all three flavors.

I was contacted by yurbuds, I won something in their twelve days of Christmas contest.  They won't tell me what I won, but it should be here in 4-6 weeks.   I will post a picture when I receive it.

Try your luck, you never know what you might win.
