Winner Winner, Force Carbon Dinner

You know those cards you see in magazines all the time claiming, "Subscribe and win!" but you never think you are going to win? Guess what. People actually win.

GT's Australian distributor, Monza Imports and Mountain Biking Australia recently teamed up to offer a GT Force Carbon Expert to a lucky winner who subscribed to the mag. The coolest part, the winner actually took the time to write in:

Good Morning Mountain Biking Australia and Monza Imports,

It has taken some time to prepare this email (even though it has never been far from my mind) to thank both organizations for the fact that taking pride of place in my garage is a GT Carbon Force Expert.

The reason it has taken so long is that I have had trouble getting my thoughts together as it was very hard to wipe the childish grin off my face. To say I was like a kid at Christmas when I spoke to Genevieve and subsequently picked up the bike from Monza, would be a huge understatement.

I would like to think that it has gone to the right home as I have quite a passion for all things two wheeled. I have a number of old bikes that I collect and admire their simplicity and old style flair but more than appreciate new technology and style....something the new bike has heaps of.

When I showed my wife a picture of the prize her comment was simply "Oh yeah !!!!". Not her usual articulate way of summing things up, but gets straight to the point.

I have now had the pleasure of taking it for quite a few rides and have one problem, I will never want to ride a bike that is not as good as the GT. I will never be the greatest rider but this bike some how manages makes me smoother and faster than I previously was.

I could go on and on but would, again, like to thank Mountain Biking Australia and Monza Imports (especially Steven Robinson) for the fantastic prize. Both parties were, strangely enough, happy and extremely helpful in handing over the great prize. Now that I have ridden and admired it I don't think I will be able to let anyone near it.

I am now a GT convert and a very happy cyclist.

Best Regards,

Patrick

Patrick, when we hear excitement like that, you can bet your ass we are all happy to hand over a bike like the Force Carbon Expert. Speaking from experience, our favorite part is the fact that you wife was actually excited about you getting a new bike.

So what's the moral of the story here? People do actually win those drawings, so get to subscribing! Oh, and it might even make your wife happy.

Now quit reading and get out there and go for a ride this fine Memorial Day weekend!
