Matt Curbeau is a cyclist who prides himself in being competent in as many disciplines of the sport as possible. Some might call him a “Master of None”. Comfortable in anything from a downtown twilight criterium, to a 200 mile gravel odyssey or a 50 minute Zwift throw down.
It is with pride that he can assimilate himself into each scenario. While serviceable at these differing styles of racing it is the long distance events that Matt both loves and excels at. Currently targeting the likes of Dirty Kanza, Leadboat (2 day stage race consisting of Leadville 100 MTB and SBT GRVL on back to back days), unPAved and a host of other one day events in and around New England.
When not racing on the virtual roads of Zwift with the Indoor Specialists, Matt competes on the road with his Velocio Northeast Racing Team. An avid Zwift user since 2015, Matt sees the potential of the Zwift platform and likes to keep a finger on the pulse of the community. Matt enjoys the camaraderie of his Indoor Specialist teammates as they are the people that he most interacts with between the hours of 5-8am most every weekday from October thru March.
