Friends of Synergy - CL Noonan Junior Cycling Team

Bicycle racing is one of the most grueling sports in the world. It requires staggering amounts of training and a profound commitment to physical fitness. Bicycle racers are topflight athletes who carefully follow strict nutritional guidelines and are incredibly sensitive to the state of their bodies.

No one knows this better than Michael Keough, whose five sons are all involved in different kinds of bike racing, from BMX to road to cylo-cross. Three of Michael’s sons (Luke, Jesse and Ian) belong to the CLNoonan Coast to Coast KAM Racing team based in Massachusetts. Under the auspices of the United States Cycling Federation, this team has raced all over New England, the United States and even the Bahamas, Belgium and Canada.

Bicycle racers are always looking for a competitive edge. For the CLNoonan team, that edge is Synergy’s revolutionary nutritional beverage Mistica and the V3 System.

“These bikers are some of the best racers in New England. They train 20 to 30 hours a week and taking two ounces of Mistica a day really helps in their recovery from workouts and races,” Michael explained. “Bicycle racing is brutal on the body, so anything you can take to help repair it is a good thing.”

Now all of the Keoughs take Mistica, including Michael. They go through six bottles a month, and they all vouch for its ability to help them recover more quickly from the rigors of the sport.

According to Michael, “Mistica is the best recovery drink we’ve found.”
