About

Welcome to Gear & Grit, a publication dedicated to the intersection of cycling technology and human endurance.

The Gear: Honest, Real-World Reviews

I don't have a warehouse of free products or a team of interns. I test gear in the real world, usually while balancing a full-time career and fatherhood.

• The Philosophy: If a product is expensive, it better be transformative. If it's cheap, it better be durable.
• The Focus: Gravel, Road, Zwift, and the tech that connects them.

The Grit: The Science of Endurance

"Grit" isn't just a buzzword; it's physiology. My background is in clinical pharmacy and data analytics. I approach training, recovery, and mental toughness through the lens of science. We explore the neuroscience of "the pain cave," the biology of recovery, and the stoicism required to push through the final hour of a long ride.

Who Am I?

I’m Kevin Curry.

By day, I’m a PharmD working in Population Health and Data Analytics. I spend my life looking at evidence, outcomes, and efficiency. I apply that same rigorous skepticism to the cycling industry.

I am not an ex-pro. I am a husband to Elin and a father to two daughters (Jane and Ruth). Like you, I am fighting for every hour on the bike. That means I have zero patience for training plans that burn me out or gear that fails when I’m 30 miles from home.

I ride to clear my head, to challenge my limits, and because, frankly, I love the data.

What I'm Up To

My Goals for 2026 are 300 hours ridden and at least 6,000 miles, here's where I'm at so far:
