S2 #EP 2: Matt Beers - Racing & being a professional mountain biker during the COVID pandemic.

Off the back of hard lockdown in South Africa and mountain bike races opening back up again, we chatted to Matt Beers (the freshly crowned SA Marathon Champ), about how he managed to not only get through the hard lockdowns, event cancellations, and sponsorship uncertainty but emerge on the other side even stronger.

One thing is for certain, Matt is a ruthless competitor who races to win! He makes no bones about that fact which is a refreshing change from the norm of "we are here to do the best we can".

Training discipline, trying to make it internationally, mongrel mentality, racing strategy, sharing your power stats on strava, answering questions from Instagram, and giving his coach kak from overtraining - there is plenty to talk about when 'Bees' is in the outdoor podcast studio and so we got to chatting!
