Matthew Page (born 02 August 1984) is a racing cyclist from Llandovery in Carmarthenshire. A prolific rider, he specializes in 24 hour, 12 hour, endurance and ultra-marathon racing events. Competing at Expert level in XC races within the UK until 2006, he then spent two years as a Cycle Courier in Cardiff, Wales. Riding an average of 100 miles a day for four days a week improved his endurance, and as a direct consequence he started doing well at longer events. In 2008 Matthew moved back to Llandovery to pursue his sport further by following a structured training program and has since won prestigious UK races such as Sleepless in the Saddle and Dusk 'til Dawn.
