MATTHEW BEERS

TEAM TOYOTA SPECIALIZED

Racing bicycles wasn’t Matt’s big goal. After sustaining a fairly nasty, career-ending, motocross injury at age 20, Matt found the same racing thrill on a bicycle - which goes a long way in explaining why he is just so at home on the dirt.

These days, Matt has made himself at home in the front of the peloton, or further up the road, when he taps into his self-claimed superpower…”being on the pedals all day, wearing everyone out.”

This superpower goes beyond race day. If you’re an avid watcher of Strava KOM’s, you’ll know that when Matt is on a mission that the KOM’s are for the taking. “My favourite training is just going out for 3 or 4 hours, trying to take KOM’s. I’ll take along 2 gels and a 500ml CarboFuel for each hour - and reward myself with a Revive Smoothie when I get home” says Matt.

Matt has meaty racing goals, which include winning the Cape Epic again and a podium at the World Marathon champs - and we’re thrilled to be supporting these efforts. On representing Cadence, Matt is grateful to have a local brand who has supported and guided him throughout his career, fuelling his training and racing.
