Maats Cycling Culture
Friday 21 June 2024
Starting Point: Amsterdam, Utrecht or Zwolle
Maats and Pas Normal Studios would like to invite you to complete the Midsummer Challenge on the longest day of the year: Friday June 21st. We are challenging everyone to ride 200km+ in one go - come join us for a long epic day in the saddle.
The concept is simple: we will take full advantage of the longest day of the year and ride a longer route of no less than 235km. You can choose to start either from our store in Amsterdam, Utrecht or from Ride Fast Bikeshop (our newest shop-in-shop location near Zwolle).
We are organizing the event in cooperation with our premium brand Pas Normal Studios. Brand ambassador Rik de Voogd will join us on the ride from Amsterdam.
All groups ride the same route and have at least two stops. The group that departs from Maats Utrecht, stops in Zwolle and Amsterdam and finishes again in Utrecht. Riders from Amsterdam first go to Utrecht, then Zwolle. During the instore breaks we'll provide food, snacks and drinks. Upon your return, cold beers will be waiting at the finish line.

Pas Normal Studios
The Pas Normal Studios Men's Mechanism Long Sleeve Jersey is a performance-focused cycling jersey designed for fast-paced training, intervals, and racing in cooler conditions. Its soft fleece-backed fabric provides lightweight warmth while efficiently managing moisture, making it suitable as a standalone layer on crisp rides or as part of a layered system when temperatures drop.
The close Mechanism fit is shaped for an aggressive position on the bike, combining technical performance with a streamlined silhouette.
