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.

The World Championships, along with the Tour of Lombardy, mark the end of the traditional cycling season. This year, the Worlds will take place in Zurich, Switzerland. A demanding course with significant elevation gains. The women’s race is scheduled for Saturday, followed by the men’s race on Sunday. Will Demi Vollering follow-up Lotte Kopecky, and will Mathieu van der Poel defend his title, or is Tadej Pogačar unbeatable on this challenging terrain with lots of climbing?

In collaboration with our friends from de Kromme Haring, we’re hosting an event on Sunday, September 29, dedicated to the World Championships. The day begins with coffee at Maats Utrecht and wraps up with beer and a live screening of the race on the big screen at Kromme Haring. And of course, we’ll squeeze in a bike ride in between. In true World Cup spirit, you can expect a challenging route with several circuits and plenty of climbs.
