To make the most of his money, Matt aims to bikepack between all the rounds until October. Short on funds, he won\u2019t be competing in the three North American rounds, but we have a feeling this resourceful young lad will get there in due time. For now, he is setting some incredible feats of endurance on his way to the races and he\u2019s already inspired pro and amateurs alike with his amazing journey so far.<\/p>\n<p>We caught up with Matthew the day before round 2 of the EWS in Petzen, Austria.<\/p>\n<p>___________________________________<\/p>\n<p><b>Updated after the race:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Matt goes Top 10 at EWS with dislocated finger.<\/p>\n<p>After only two days off the bike, Matt goes top 10 in the U21 at the EWS. Although it didn\u2019t go smoothly with a dislocated pinky finger on Stage 2 putting him back into 18th. Medics taped and put the finger back in place allowing Matt to fight back strong with a 10th, 7th, and 14th for the remaining stages.<\/p>\n<p>In typical Matt fashion \u201cIt was great but I had more to give, I had to stop twice down the last stage as I physically couldn\u2019t hold on with the pain in my hand\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s now getting ready to leave tonight for Italy \u201cIt\u2019s pretty short in comparison, so I\u2019m not even sure if I\u2019ll even change tyres but will see how far we go tonight as it\u2019s been really hot today and I haven\u2019t been able to eat or drink enough as I\u2019d like.\u201d<br \/>\nWishing Matt the best on his \u201cshort\u201d 366km trip to Canazei and hope the finger holds.<\/p>\n<p>___________________________________<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> So Matt, it\u2019s your first time ever travelling overseas, and you\u2019ve done it all by yourself, what did you tell your parents you were doing?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ha I don\u2019t know the answer to that. It feels like months ago. I told them what I wanted to do. They definitely thought it was a bit stupid, but I told them my intentions. They also had confidence in me, and I had confidence in myself. And we were off. They were also comfortable knowing that there were people looking after me along the way. So I think they saw the point in it. Which was to make the most of the money I have while in Europe for this season, and have a bit of an adventure.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><b> What\u2019s the goal for this season?<\/b><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Invest my money into learning \u2013 in this instance it isn\u2019t necessarily about getting quick in-between the tape, it\u2019s about learning life skills, travelling with the bike and seeing places. And also seeing where the adventure takes me, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/athletes\/17453447\">your Strava<\/a>, your longest ride was 348km while Everesting in Christchurch last year. You can punch out the big single days, but how much multi-day stuff have you done?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This was first ever multi-day \u2013 I really chucked myself in the deep end. I didn\u2019t know how it would go, didn\u2019t know how my body would cope, and didn\u2019t know it would exactly work. I just had to make it up as it went.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> So how has the body gone?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The first two days were hard immediately after I left Scotland. I had no sleep and was covered in midgie bites after the first night. I wanted to be efficient so went to sleep for an hour, without unpacking the tent. Turns out it was next to a lake, but in the dark I couldn\u2019t see it. I was not having a good time. But once I got to the Netherlands I was able to wind it up and punch the k\u2019s out.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> You left at 6pm right after you finished the Tweed Valley EWS, tell me about that transition and the night that followed?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So I finished the race [Ed: Matt finished an impressive <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.enduroworldseries.com\/uploads\/documents\/races\/1654469829.pdf\">11th in U21<\/a>). I had a mechanical on the last stage. I snapped the mech off, into my spokes by hitting a rock halfway down. It was quite a panic as I couldn\u2019t pedal. But I got a new mech sorted out thanks to the SRAM team. The next issue was that I had no bike packing bags. Luckily, within 30 minutes of the race ending, the owner of Deviate had bought me some bike bags, a tent, cooking gear and the things I\u2019d need. So by 5:30pm we were good to go.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d only fully committed to riding the whole way the Monday of the week before. I ordered the gear on Monday night, it was supposed to arrive Wednesday but it didn\u2019t. Then the UK had a two-day holiday on Thursday and Friday for Jubilee weekend, which meant my bags were only going to arrive on Monday at the earliest.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> And you didn\u2019t want to wait until Monday to get pedalling?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ha nope, I couldn\u2019t afford to wait because I just wanted to get into it and wanted to make it to watch the Short Track XC in Leogang on Friday.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> So you pedal overnight to make the ferry. Tell us about calling your parents at 3am in the morning?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yep, I turned up to the ferry and the person at the check-in said I wasn\u2019t allowed on the ferry because I was too young, and needed to be 18 to get onboard independently. They said my options were either talk to her manager or just forfeit the ticket. So I talked to the manager who said I needed to call my mum and dad, and have them email a photocopy of their passport and written permission so I could board. I tried to that, but I was having issues getting a hold of them because it was 3am in New Zealand and I didn\u2019t have any data on my phone, so just started calling whoever I could. In the end I got a hold of someone\u2019s data in the ferry line, and connected through to them to send their passport and written consent. It came through 10 minutes before the boat left, definitely the most stressful moment. If I missed that ferry, I would\u2019ve lost a whole day and wasted the midgie sleep the night before.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> From the ferry you then rode for 5 days in a row, tell us about where you\u2019ve been sleeping. It sounds like the ferry wasn\u2019t your best sleep ever.<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, the lows were the nights in the wet. I\u2019d say I averaged 2 \u2013 4 hour of sleep each of those nights. I had a bit of a mix. Some nights I\u2019d been offered a bed and was able to have shower which was amazing. That was only two nights, but that was perfect. It was actually awkward, because I\u2019d arrive at like 2am soaking and tired, and then leave before they even woke up. I didn\u2019t get much sleep before landing in Europe either because I was battling midges one night and sea sickness on the overnight boat that I had planned to sleep on. The other nights I was in the bushes, and only one night in the tent. Oh and one night in the pivot bus, but that wasn\u2019t much of a sleep.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> What have you been eating?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I was quite careful because I had my whole life on my bike, I was only going to gas stations in small towns. I was living off small gas station food. Which consisted of Coca-Cola, chocolate and gummy bears. And yep, that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><b> So hang on, 74 hours of riding in 6 days only on gas station food?<\/b><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yep, so day 4 I was battling. I spent the whole day before running off the sour lollies with sugar on the outside. My tongue had been pulled apart by the sugar on the outside. So after that I moved to the gummy bears with sugar only on the inside. I wouldn\u2019t change it \u2013 it was so hard to eat while riding. For the size, I felt like I got a lot out of it. It\u2019s the way to go for me when spending big days in the saddle.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> Tell us about what and how you\u2019re carry things on your bike? And what did you change?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The only thing I changed from the race set-up was the tyres \u2013 I took off the mountain bike tyres and put on some slicks. Other than that the set-up is the exact same as the EWS race bike. For bags, it was just whatever I was given. It was quite a good set up to be honest even though I didn\u2019t have much of a choice. It was bar, seat, top tube \u2013 everything on the bike. Nothing on my back. That\u2019s essential.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> Obviously no chamois?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No chamois.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> How does the high pivot affect the pedalling efficiency while bike packing?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s definitely an advantage aye \u2013 there\u2019s heaps of cobbles. If you\u2019re going to do it I think you need a high pivot. It just eats the cobbles.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> How have you been navigating?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019ve just been pulling out my phone at each intersection. The furthest south I\u2019ve been the less bike paths I\u2019ve been on, but there\u2019s also been a safe option to take that\u2019s not on a busy road. It\u2019s bloody mint riding over this side of the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> What is the weight of the bike loaded versus unloaded?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s 15.5kg unloaded. It\u2019s between 31.5kg and 34.5kg loaded, depending on how full the gas tank is.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> I understand you bought, built and maintain each piece on your bike with your own cash?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah kind of, Deviate sponsored me the frame, but all the parts I bought in New Zealand on discount and built up the bike myself.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><b> Tell us about the support you\u2019ve gotten since you started pedalling?<\/b><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The support has been insane. In Leogang, people were just giving me food. People have just offered beds for me to sleep in. Lots of people have let me know to reach out if I need help. I couldn\u2019t ask for any more, it\u2019s been amazing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> Any people you\u2019d like to particularly thank?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The SRAM team here \u2013 especially when I smashed my bike in Tweed Valley. And the whole bike community. Doing this, I\u2019ve found out how welcoming the community is. There\u2019s not a single person who doesn\u2019t want to help each other. The biggest thanks goes out the people in the sport who make it what it is.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i> What are your goals after this season for the years ahead?<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wanted to go overseas early so I could learn how it works. I\u2019ve got few more years in U21, so hoping by the end of it I\u2019m at the pointy end of the field. I\u2019m hoping to get some low numbers next my name. The end goal is to get enough support so I don\u2019t have to pedal between all the races maybe\u2026<\/p>\n<p>We wish Matt all the best in his travels to the rest of the European rounds.
