p.s. my bike is bigger than yours]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:51:45 GMT http://www.groopy.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=53 Message from CaveGiant
I thought the feture to find riders in my area was great, untill I tried it.

Great Britain may be a small island off the coast of france to you, but I am not going to drive 12 hours to Cornwall to ride with someone however cool they are!


quick reply in forums is a standard for most of these sites, it encourages people to add their input.

explaining how we get the bike of our dreams would be nice too!]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:24:29 GMT http://www.groopy.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=52 Message from CaveGiant Seems alright to me.

would prefer a quick respond option, or maybe linking into an app on facebook for generating group rides.]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:55:53 GMT http://www.groopy.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=52 Message from DT Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:41:47 GMT http://www.groopy.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=51 Message from DT Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:39:15 GMT http://www.groopy.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=44 Message from Alf

Hi, my name is Ryan Teixeira, founder of U R FREE2B U. It is a means for men to become men through Extreme MultiSport Adventures abroad; extreme emotionally, extreme psychologically and extreme physically. A real and raw experience that pounds on the door of that primal man bursting inside us all.

Living in today’s modern age, men have missed their Rights of Passage into manhood. Through my own experiences, adventures and ability to walk the road less travelled, I discovered the short term solution to this long term problem. To most folks, it sounds impossible or utterly stupid to do what I did, but I am doing it.

About one year ago I had what many Americans seek their whole lives. $150+k/ year with the hottest company in the US at the time (Tesla Motors), killer condo in the burbs, raced motorcycles on TV, hot girlfriends and enough money to have only the best of whatever I wanted. I earned it and I worked very hard for it.

But Guess what? That’s right, I flipped it the birdie, sold it ALL and left. All I have is a backpack, a surfboard, a mtn. bike and with U R FREE2B U, now a means to guide others to discover what I found; a way to live a meaningful life.

When I left, I bought a one way ticket to Brazil. I traveled the world solo for over a year surfing and biking through foreign lands without maps, GPS or anyone watching my back. Travelling solo, exploring hostile territories, grinding out thousands of miles on a mtn. bike and surfing was my Right of Passage into manhood and a new way of life on my terms. No medical insurance, no fall backs, no one even knew where I was...I was COMPLETELY responsible for myself.

It was a powerful formula that centers around practicing courage. Now, I am offering it to those ready to knuckle up and become a man among men with the Legendary 21 Day Epic adventure.

My most recent adventure was an amazing success. It’s an incredible story where ironically, everything that could go wrong, went wrong...but we persevered. We surfed and mountain biked over 2000 km from Nicaragua to Colombia. Grown men had emotional breakdowns, people got lost in the jungles and ultimately, we all got in touch with our primal man because of it. In the end we gave our mtn. bikes to kids in need at the end of our adventures because, that’s what high character is all about.

Their lives forever changed. They now see the world and themselves differently and have the confidence to live the life they always wanted to live.

I am excited to share that we made a documentary film of this adventure that is about ready to be released. Check out our trailer and let us know what you think? Maybe a friend or family member has been searching for a similar experience/outcome, and if so, we are offering another Legendary 21 Day Epic this November.
There is plenty of inspiring content on our site to sift through from the story of our past adventures to the blog that encourages a FREE2B lifestyle shift. Check it out, it could be just what you needed to motivate you to make the changes you have been longing to make or share with those you care about.

Enjoy!
