Summary

There's rumor of someone coming out of South Africa who's an absolute machine in off-road racing. He's cleaned up in his home country and now he's on the move to North America. That person is the very affable Matt Beers. On the heels of his recent sprint to second place at the inaugural Little Sugar in Arkansas, Matt is lining up for the season finale Big Sugar this weekend. Between these big late season races we caught up, talked shop, talked global gravel and lots more.

0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome to King of the Ride podcast.
0:08.3	I am Ted King.
0:09.7	I'm very happier you're here today.
0:12.4	Matt Beers is on the show today.
0:15.7	Now this is one that I am really excited about.
0:18.2	We are kindred spirits, Matt and I, as we are both tall cyclists
0:22.9	with an infatuation with the sport. So not entirely anomalous in cycling, but being over six
0:30.2	feet tall is not really the normal either. So we are very excited to see Matt not just mixing it up,
0:39.4	but establishing some incredible results.
0:43.8	As I mentioned in the show, Matt Beers is a name that has preceded himself.
0:47.6	I've heard of the results that he was putting together at Cape Epic.
0:52.8	I've heard of the power monster that was coming out of South Africa, dipping his toe into gravel.
0:56.1	I saw him put together some results last year on American soil,
1:00.8	and here he is piecing together a fascinating and successful calendar in 2023.
1:03.7	And seemingly lots more to come in 2024.
1:08.6	Huge, huge thanks to Matt for being on the show during this busy week between little sugar and Big Sugar this coming weekends to cap off his North American campaign.
1:14.9	Now before we kick off this conversation, a quick reminder that I've started every day with AG1 for well over a year now.
1:21.8	I love it. It is simple. It is tasty. It is easy. It has made my life better by providing the rich nutrients that I need
1:28.8	akin to a multivitamin, but derived from real foods, and I don't need to tote around a half
1:33.5	dozen bottles of vitamin pills to get there. Instead, it is one scoop or one of the super handy
1:37.9	travel packs into a bottle with about six to eight ounces of water, shake, shake,
1:43.5	down the hatch, and we are off to the races.
