Windy City Riders Use ZYM to Blow Through NY Century

June 4th, 2010

On May 16, two Chicago ZYM masters, Greg Shapps and Mark Semer (who lives in New York) used ZYM’s near-magical hydration properties to complete the Montauk Century, in celebration of turning the big Four-Oh.

The Montauk Century is a popular 100-mile jaunt from Babylon to Montauk, at the Eastern tip of Long Island. Greg and Mark were both sponsored by ZYM and pedaled decked out in their electric- (or electrolyte?) green ZYM jerseys. From their first pedal stroke, the now-middle-age duo were powered by the great taste and energy boost of ZYM’s caffeine-infused Catapult Berry tabs (with a little Lemon-Lime along the way).

Greg and Mark blew through the course in less than six hours, at an average speed of better than 17 mph. Zoom. ZYM. Zoom.

Greg’s next two-wheel adventure will be the two-day, 175-mile Bike MS ride in the Chicago area, June 12-13. Mark is gearing up for the Golden Apple Century in New York’s Westchester County in September. Both will be fueled by ZYM every mile of the way.

College Life – A to ZYM

May 25th, 2010

University students — and future graduates — have always been concerned about the quality of the substances they ingest. (Okay, maybe not always…) So it’s no surprise that the acclaimed higher-ed publication College Life, in its recent graduation issue, singled out ZYM as an approved drink for students. That’s right, for grads looking to top up their electrolyte levels and keep their bodies properly hydrated, drinking ZYM is a choice that requires no further study.

ZYM & St. Anthony’s Triathlon

April 28th, 2010

Dave loves ZYM!
ZYM spent the weekend in the golden Florida sunlight at the highly anticipated, St. Anthony’s Triathlon. Located on the coast of Tampa Bay, the course is among the toughest in the world and draws in athletes from nearly all fifty states and a number of neighboring countries. After years of housing the world’s top professional athletes and being known for it’s exceedingly high competition levels, St. Anthony’s triathlon has served as a qualifier for the Ironman Triathlon World Championship and has been dubbed “Race of the Year” by USA Triathlon. So, to kick off the triathlon season right, ZYM teamed up with Urban Tri Gear (locations in Westmont, IL and Burr Ridge, IL) to attend the event and keep our world’s best athletes hydrated on the course.

ZYM & Interbike East

October 14th, 2009

In addition to attending the popular Interbike West Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, ZYM also made an appearance at its sister Expo at the opposite end of the country. Interbike East, although slightly smaller in size and a heck of a lot colder, allows vendors from the east Coast a chance at a vast networking opportunity. Despite everyone being jacked up on ZYM Catapult Berry, the small, intimate congregation of Easterners made our time at the Expo fun, easygoing, and laidback.

ZYM & Interbike West

Thousands of bike vendors and businesses await the greatly anticipated end-of-summer Expo, Interbike West housed in Las Vegas, Nevada. Accompanying ZYM at this week long outing was friend and ex pro athlete, Robbie Ventura.

For one day of the Expo Robbie Ventura signed limited edition ZYM posters featuring an illustrated version of him scaling a mountainside. Joking and making small talk with passersby and our ZYM staff, he created a fun and amiable atmosphere and attracted a range of people to the tent. We had such a great time at this year’s expo that we’re already looking forward for next year’s.

These limited edition ZYM posters are on sale at the website at www.gozym.com.
