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.

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.

The return of a classic: The Maats Gravel Series. Three gravel rides in three iconic locations across the Netherlands. Starting this season, the series is exclusively for Maats Members.

Each ride covers between 75 and 100 km and takes you over the most beautiful gravel roads and trails. We start the day with coffee and finish it with a dirty bike.

We’ll kick off the series on Saturday, November 8th at RideFast Bike Shop in Zwolle.

Two weeks later, we’ll be hosted by Maats Member Nick Lettink in Arnhem, who’s eager to show us the finest off-road gems of the Veluwe. Start and finish a Stadsvilla Sonbeek.

We’ll wrap up the series in mid-December with a Gravel Series x Off the Map in Maastricht — think of it as Maats Monday Limburg, but off-road. 😉

Curious about the routes? Check them out here for a first impression. 

Each gravel series event is limited to around 25 spots. These are initially exclusively available to Maats Members. If any spots remain, aspiring members will also have the opportunity to join.

The participation fee for a Gravel Series event is €25. This includes a GPX route, coffee before the start, and a halfway stop supported by the Maats Sprinter.

• Select the right place and date above (Zwolle / Arnhem / Maastricht), sign up, and let's gravel!
• A few days before the event we’ll send you all the details you need to get ready for an unforgettable ride.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This event is only available for members. Not a member yet? Become one to join this (and future) events! 

Maats x Leeman Ride - Dönerdag 4 September 

At the end of August 2019, together with our neighbors from Leeman Döner, we organized a ride that turned out to be one of the most iconic cycling events in the history of mankind: The Maats x Leeman Ride. 

Last year, to celebrate the fifth edition of this legendary ride, we teamed up with Leeman Döner to create a limited-edition T-shirt. It was a big hit — and now it's time for version 3.0! For this year's edition, you can choose between two ticket options:

• a standard ticket for the event (includes ride, doner + 2 drinks)
• or a combo ticket that includes both the event and the exclusive Maats x Leeman T-shirt (€45). You only pay for the t-shirt and the drinks, the legendary Doner is on us.

An event beyond imagination. Trust us, you don't want to miss this one...

• 18:00 gathering at Maats
• 18:30 departure in groups for a relaxed ride of approximately 45km
• Upon return at Maats, Leeman döner or falafel, and ice cold beers will be waiting for you
  
• Max 100 participants
• Ticket required
