Pugs Outdoor Adventure and Motorsports News

Love is in the air, as is the fresh, crisp, and renewed air for adventure. There is no time like the present to break free from a blue winter spell and getaway to the mountains, lake, or ocean with a significant other.

In fact, if you and your special someone are natural wanderers and consider adventures together to be bonding or even a necessity for building the foundation to a healthy relationship then gifting them these adventure gifts for Valentine’s Day (or any other special occasion) is a thoughtful solution.

You don’t have to book a plane ticket to the nearest beach to escape your winter blues. Instead, look to embrace the quaint, quiet beauty of winter by relaxing in these beautiful towns right in your own backyard.

There are two kinds of people this time of year, the kind that are looking for an escape from winter and the kind that embrace the cold weather.  No matter what kind of person you are, we can all agree that everyone looks forward to spring break. Whether you are looking to flee the cold for a warm beach or hit the mountains for some spring-time skiing and snowboarding, remember to get prepared and make your plans early. 

The following continues on our series on road trips centered around Colorado, because Colorado is the ultimate road trip destination...

Can you sleep alone in room 217 of the Stanley Hotel?  How would you react to a piano playing itself in an empty ballroom?  What would you do if you heard children playing at night outside your room, but couldn’t see them?  There is a place in Colorado where you can find out.  Pugs Gear dares you to try.

As the snow continues to blanket the mountains and valleys of Colorado, it's the perfect time to take the family out on a Colorado road trip. Southwest Colorado has it all, from beautiful scenery, fresh mountain air to extreme sports. Getting there isn’t the easiest, which is part of the allure.  The ruggedness of the region is exasperated by the solitude that comes from the closest major city being 100s of miles away.

Pugs Gear loves winter and summer equally, but as spring approaches and sunglass season kicks into high gear we feel especially giddy.  There’s nothing like putting on your sunglasses, rolling down your windows and hitting the open road.  The allure of the open road, turning down a winding highway with the windows down with no place to go, but everything to see, that’s what Pugs Gear is all about.   Of course, the world doesn’t stop because spring is in the air.  People still have to work and go about their days.  But, since you only live once, here are 9 reasons to take some time for yourself and family and hit the highway…

Summer is a great time to take a vacation with your family. The kids are out of school, and the temperatures are nice and warm which means there are lots of fun outdoor activities to enjoy. You've got the affordable sunglasses that your family loves and a car charger for your phone. If you don't have the time or energy to plan a trip far away, why not vacation close to home?

If you have been on a family road trip before, you know that keeping the kids occupied and out of each other’s hair can be a demanding task. The long car ride, complete with rest area stops, fast food lunches and hair pulling, is a classic American summertime mainstay. With the invent of iPads, high tech cell phones and Angry Birds, modern family road trips are not the same as what they used to be. While turning on a movie or letting your children play a video game may have its benefits, there is a certain comradery that is built from a long car ride playing games with each other to pass the time. Here are five road trip games for kids; before they know it, you will have arrived at your destination.  

If you're looking for outdoor adventures, the world won't let you down. Many countries have great scenery, amenities and attractions that will add adventure to your vacation. Here are some favorites among adventure travelers along with some information about the highlights of each.

If you are looking for a great place to don your Pugs sunglasses this fall and sip on a cold one, consider visiting the Czech Republic. The landlocked country is known for its beers and beer festivals. So we wanted to focus some time today on the history of the region’s brews. It’s a tasty one that flows back in time to 993 and a Benedictine archabbey nestled in Prague’s Brevnov District. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Brevnov Monastery?
