Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Owen Vermeulen, a remarkable individual who successfully transformed his life after battling with substance abuse. His journey began with an introduction to recovery at the age of 18, but despite a promising career in professional skateboarding, he found himself ensnared by addiction once again. During our conversation, we will explore how cycling emerged as a guiding light for Owen, becoming a pivotal force in his sustained recovery. We'll delve into his distinctive encounters in gravel cycling, including his recent participation in a challenging 8-day gravel race in Colombia.

Jack is an Australian ultra-cyclist based in Spain and his journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Instead of pursuing traditional professional cycling, he carved his own path in ultra-cycling, a sport that tests the limits of human endurance. He began his ultra-cycling career in 2016, completing gruelling races like the Transcontinental Race in Europe, and hasn't looked back since. His achievements are awe-inspiring: from riding two stages a day to catch-and-pass the Tour de France peloton, to setting world records for the most kilometers ridden in a week. But what makes Jack truly stand out is his candidness about his battles with depression. His story isn't just about physical endurance; it's a powerful narrative of mental resilience and finding hope in the darkest of times. ⁠Pillar Performance⁠⁠⁠ If you're ready to elevate your performance and sleep quality, why not give PILLAR a try, head to ⁠⁠⁠pillarperformance.shop⁠⁠⁠ and use the code Roadman on your local website for 15% off your f
