Win a Getaway to San Antonio with S.A.V.E.


We are leaving for the Mongol Rally tomorrow and are heading on our great adventure, but we couldn’t leave our readers empty handed. When San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau invited us to join five-day trip to San Antonio, Texas to compete in the Alamo City Race we were bummed that we couldn’t make it. In August we will be somewhere between Kazakhstan, Russia or Mongolia.

So when they came back to us to offer our readers a chance to win a great trip, our spirits were lifted. At least someone would be able to go to Texas.
