Lachlan Morton made a name for himself as a professional road racer before charting his own path of endurance challenges and gravel racing, including an Eversting World Record and a 1st place finish at Unbound gravel in 2024.

Flamingo Estate just restocked their iconic, worth-every-penny strawberry fruit snacks. Made from Harry's Berries' truly perfect organic strawberries, the result is insanely addictive, sweet, tart and spicy with a delectable chew.
