Just Sweat No Tears.

June 8, 2009 at 1.18pm

Although this is old news now, we thought it was still worth mentioning as it is for a good cause. For the last couple of years Foska have sponsored Just Sweat No Tears (JSNT), a team of ultra distance riders. Late last year John Walsh and Stacey Eccles entered the World toughest cycle race, the Race Across America (RAAM), a grueling 3000 mile journey from coast to coast across some of the most inhospitable terrain. Well not only did they finish in under 8 days 18 hours, they won the mixed entry classification. Well done!

Recently Brian and Stacey bumped into another rather good cylist at a Cycle to Work day, none other than Victoria Pendleton (World and Olympic Track Champion) who kindly agreed to pose for this photo with Brian and Stacey with their trophy and of course their Foska kit on.

Entering these races isn't just for the fun of it. Just Sweat No Tears work hard to raise money for charity. The charity they have chosen to raise funds for is Parents for Children who also provide valuable research into the effects of drinking and drugs during pregnancy. You can sponsor them here. It is quick and easy and the money goes to a good cause.

Just Like Mama Used To Make.

What do you do when the wife rings up and says there's no food in the cupboard and there's six hungry mouths to feed.  Tell the boss you need some triathlon pasta from the warehouse to take some photos for the the website.  Having blagged the pasta and a few more ingredients from the local supermarket I raced off home and produced this stunning dish in a little over 20 minutes, leaving little Johnny and the rest of the family satisfied for another day. 

To make this dish, this is all you have to do;

1. Chop and fry 1 large onion, a handful of mushrooms, 2 garlic cloves and one pack of you favourite bacon.
2. When browned add a tin of chopped tomatoes and 2 handfuls of baby spinach leaves, then leave to simmer.
3. In the meantime empty the pasta into a large pan of boiling water, add salt to taste and cook for 10-12 minutes.
4. When the pasta's cooked, drain and add to the tomato sauce.  Mix together, ad some basil leaves for garish and take a photo for the website before serving to the hungry kids.
   
   Serves 6.

New website!

  March 11, 2009 at 3:50 pm

Welcome to our new site.  It's taken a while in coming but we are now live at last. I've been told by our tech guy that there's still quite a bit to do until we get it how we want, so keep popping back to see the changes taking place. If there is anything that you would like to see on the site or any added functionality then feel free to mail us with your ideas (all clean and family friendly you understand).

With the launch of the new site we are also launching a few new products. Just arrived fresh from our favourite fictional town of Springfield, we have the Duff cycle jersey. We've only had a small delivery of these in so far so if you want to be one of the first to own one then you'd better order quick. A ladies version as well as a running vest will be coming along shortly so watch this space. Continuing on the Simpsons theme we are now doing kids cycle jerseys in Bart and Lisa deisgns.

We are always interested in seeing your pictures of you in action wearing your foska shirts. E-mail them into us if you want them to appear in our gallery and any we use for promotional work we will give you a £25 voucher to spend on this site.
