Sunday Dec-8th 09:00 - Amerongen

Join us at De Proloog in Amerongen for an unforgettable day full of gravel. We’ve been cooking on three unique loops that will take you on trails you've likely never seen before. Each loop is unique and different, and you decide the order and how many loops you want to ride. All three starts and ends at our base at De Proloog. 

The event offers three loops, each approximately 50 km. You decide how many loops you want to ride—take on one, two, or all three! That means you can ride anywhere from 50 km to 150 km. It’s your day to explore at your own pace. Ride by yourself, as a team or join a group: it's all good!

Here’s the schedule for the day:

• 09:00 – Meet at De Proloog for coffee and ride briefing
• 09:30 – Roll out.
• After the ride, return to De Proloog for a well-deserved serving of local soup and bread, included in your ticket.
• 16:00 - Finish Time

What bike to bring? A gravel, CX or MTB bike is what you need. You’ll be riding a mix of gravel, sand, and pavement, so get ready for a diverse ride.

Included in your ticket:

• Three specially curated routes
• Pre-ride coffee
• Post-ride soup and bread
• A fantastic day of gravel riding with great company

Saturday March 25th, Maats Utrecht

After a successful first edition last November, the Maats Checkpoint Challenge is back for its second instalment. We've found another 10 amazing checkpoints that will take you in a new direction from our Utrecht store.

This challenge (or race for some) is all about planning, route skills and teamwork. There’s no route, just 10 checkpoints (CPs) that are worth a visit for you and your teammate. You connect these checkpoints to create your own route.

Two out of ten CPs are mandatory, the other eight are optional. So it’s up to you to decide how long your route will be. If you want to check off all CPs, expect to ride approximately 200km. The shortest route along the mandatory CPs will be around 100km.

We will draw up a classification at the finish. The team that checks off all checkpoints and does so in the shortest amount of time wins the challenge.

Are you up for the challenge? Team up & and join us on Saturday March 25th in Utrecht.
