Few individual cyclists have done as much to nurture the burgeoning North American gravel scene as Crusher in the Tushar founder Burke Swindlehurst. We caught up with him in Onion Creek, just outside of Moab, UT, to ask him about his transition from road to gravel and the appeal of riding outside of the box.

First Endurance and Best Buddies

Announcing a collaboration rooted in performance and inclusion.

We’ve never hidden the fact that our R&D involves working with athletes – pro and amateur alike – to dial formulas and discover new opportunities to support performance.

Our new partnership with Best Buddies Racing gives us access to top-level cyclists for those purposes, but we’re also proud of the partnership for reasons that are bigger than the bike.

In preparation for compiling a HALO FAQ, we sent a list of common questions and comments to Dr. Bucci, including what HALO is, what it does, and why it’s special enough to patent.

In his preliminary responses, Dr. Bucci also addresses some common misconceptions about curcuminoids and human biology, and he explains why First Endurance hasn’t jumped on the CBD bandwagon.

We had a chance to chat with the inimitable Phil Gaimon while he was passing through Park City, UT. Though we spent hours talking and riding with him, we started our conversation by simply asking him why he rides. Here’s his response.

For this installment of our Q&A, we got Gavin Mannion on the hook. Given his answers, we could have titled it “The Entirely Bearable Lightness of Cycling.”

Gavin loves the bike – so much so that his only non-cycling job was bagging groceries. (He quit at 15 because he was already cashing in on Cat 3 primes.)

A new batch of OptygenHP is coming off the line. If you're starting the new year off with big goals, add OptygenHP to your program to increase your VO2max, improve your ability to adapt to high levels of physical stress, and reduce lactic acid.

"It’s easy to dismiss most supplements as marginally effective at best. But OptygenHP from First Endurance really has an impressive impact on endurance and performance for top athletes. Adaptogens help the body adapt to stress hormones like cortisol for better recovery, while each serving provides 1,500mg of Beta-Alanine, which boosts exercise capacity. The result is a supplement that boosts ATP production for more energy, while increasing both VO2 max and time to exhaustion. For athletes at the top of their form, this can be a real differentiator. And trust us when we say the results are real and noticeable." - Peloton Magazine
