1. Nothing is Impossible
My wife deserves the CLIF chocolate because of the emotional strength, physical power, and perseverance she possesses and teaches our children. When our young child died, the simple bicycle saved not only our marriage, but our family as well. This year my wife has worked her way up to a 70.3 Ironman and continues to teach our children nothing is impossible.

2. Super Mom is Always Ready

I am nominating my friend, Christine, as she is a wonderful mother to her 2 children, a super wife to her husband Patrick and a great friend and bike riding partner to me. Her day starts at the crack of dawn with cutting fruit and veggies for her children's school lunches. After they head off, we begin our 25 miles plus bike training rides. We typically stop at the beach for a snack to keep us going. I enjoy our talks and laughs during our ride, where we discuss our children, meals and of course our husbands. My day isn't complete without spending time with my friend. Our day cranks up again when the kids get home from school and homework, sports and dinner needs to be completed, but super mom is always ready.

3. Riding and working and walking

Reasons why my wife Donna deserves a box of CLIF Bar chocolaty favorites:
- (1) Loves chocolate including CLIF Bars;
- (2) rides her Trek Pilot 4,000-6,000 miles/year;
- (3) works as a full-time therapist putting her daughter through college;
- (4) walks her chocolate Lab every day. (I lied. He’s a licorice lab.)
