The Maats Van is ready to rumble! As of this summer, we're driving the van to various cities in The Netherlands and organize Maats Local Loops. One of the first cities we go to is Maastricht, and next to our local customers, we'd like to invite you to come and ride with us!

Date: Sunday August 13th

Who better to ask to create a local route than a Local Legend? Meet Fleur and David. Fleur has been part of the Maats Family from the very beginning. When she lived in Amsterdam a few years ago, she came to work in our store and was on of our first members of staff. Fleur has been living with her boyfriend David for a few years now just below Maastricht.

David is a professional rider with the French team Arkea-Samsic. He has been training in the region for years and knows this area like the back of his hand. David made a nice and challenging route for Maats.

We gather on Sunday morning 09:30h at a spot south of Maastricht (t.b.c.) for coffee from our van
As of 10:00h we ride a +/- 100km road ride in the region, made by local legends Fleur and David

Sunday 21 January 2024 08:30h

Start and finish: Maats Amsterdam, van Woustraat 165

January is the month of the Winter Resolution Challenge from Pas Normal Studios, a Strava initiative that challenges you to ride at least 1250 km in the first month of the year. On Sunday 21/1, we organize a long ride to boost your monthly total and achieve your goals. We also hosted this event in the beginning of 2023, and we like the idea to turn this into a yearly tradition. Check last years aftermovie here.

Everyone around Amsterdam has heard of it or rode it before: the famous and notorious Markermeer loop, a route of approximately 160 km, all day along the waterfront. It is a simple route where the only thing you have to think about is whether you are going to take it clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the wind that day. You can find the route here.

We gather at 08:30h at Maats for coffee. After the ride briefing, we divide everyone into smaller groups for departure. The Maats Sprinter will serve as a support van, that rides with the groups, in which you can put some personal belongings (like food or extra clothing) during the stops.

Details:

Sunday January 21th, 2024, gathering 08:30 at Maats AMS
160 km loop with coffee/food stop halfway (own expense)
Average speed between 28 and 32 km/h, no-drop policy*
50 spots available

After successful registration, you'll receive all necessary information a few days before the event.

Midsummer Challenge 2024

€25.00

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.

MAAP Atmos_Exp Ride: Maats Utrecht

€0.00

In collaboration with MAAP and the Ride Beyond Crew, and in celebration of the new MAAP Atmos collection, we’re setting out to test the lungs and character – a pursuit of the sort of limits and lessons that only come when you push beyond your comfort zone.

This ride will be long, hard, and one best experienced with friends and new friends alike. The sort of Type 2 fun that usually comes with the potential of bonking* and we end up talking about with mates for years and even decades to come.

As we push ourselves to the next level, we need our gear to meet us there too. Incremental gains are the difference between betterment and stagnating. The new Atmos collection is driven by performance and versatility. The Atmos Jacket is the lightest weight all-weather jacket MAAP’s developed to date. The ultimate pieces for those in a constant pursuit of progression.

This ride will be challenging. You are responsible for your own nutrition and hydration across the ride. You are also responsible for your own mechanical support – bring tires, tubes and/or CO2 cartridges.
There will be treats provided by Maats and MAAP – coffee pre-ride with post-ride food and beverages back at Maats.
There will be a rad giveaway too – two lucky riders will walk away with an Atmos vest or Jacket of their choice. This will be communicated to you on the day if you’re the winner.
