Going the Distance

Friends of igearlist are taking to the desert again this spring to raise money for kids sports and arts scholarships.

This April, Team Good For Kids will be competing in a 7-day expedition length stage race in Western Australia. They race to raise awareness and support for Good For Kids Foundation.

But first, a pit stop: Meet Team Good For Kids before they race off into the Kimberley Desert of Western Australia. Team GFK will be at Sports Basement in San Francisco discussing the expedition length footrace format, sharing their race experiences and showing off their gear. What's it like to dive into a far away desert with little more than a daypack and a pair of sneakers? You'll find out!

Time: 4:00 - 5:30 PM

Where Is That?

We are excited to see that gear has been posted to igearlist from all over the United States. Yeah! Occasionally we see a city that we haven't had the chance to visit or read about...and our typical response is, hey, I wonder where that is?

If you've ever thought the same, we'd like to point out that every listing is linked to a google map of the city that the user indicates in their post. If you click on the tiny "G" icon in the listing view (see picture above), the appropriate google map will pop up, and your question will be answered!

From a practical standpoint, you can use this feature to determine how far away the seller of an item is from where you are (or will be.) This is especially useful if you're looking at a larger piece of equipment like a boat or a bike, or anything that requires a "test-drive" or fitting.
