EVENT IS POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
In April 2023 it was exactly 5 years ago that we opened our store at the van Woustraat in Amsterdam. To celebrate this, we are organizing 5 amazing events this summer. These are events that are in line with the things we have done with Maats in recent years or events that we have wanted to organize for a long time and for which this is the perfect reason. On this page you can find all the info about the events.
Midsummer Race - Friday June 30
When you think of bike races you automatically come to club races. Individual, performance driven and straight home after the race. We think it would be cool to make a combination between racing and also a bit of community and fun. That is why we organize a Midsummer race on friday evening, followed by a bbq and some drinks with friends.
We gather at 19:00 at sports park de Weren in Amsterdam Noord. After a short ride briefing, we ride as a group for a warm-up period for 30 minutes. After ringing the bell, we ride a race of 60 minutes for the men and 45 minutes for the women (combined in one race). Afterwards prize ceremony, beers and burgers from the Maats Bus.
Don't feel like racing but want to watch and cheer on the riders? Buy a Spectator ticket for cheering and the bbq.
For who is this race? For all Maats customers/community members who like to race and test themselves on a closed circuit, with or without race experience.

This year it’s 5 years ago that we opened our store at the van Woustraat in Amsterdam. To celebrate this, we are organizing a series of amazing events this summer. These are events that are in line with the things we have done with Maats in recent years or events that we have wanted to organize for a long time and for which this is the perfect reason.
Dropping - Saturday Oct 14
This is a new event based on a typical Dutch concept: a dropping. Imagine a departure in the early morning hours with a touring car to an unknown destination somewhere in the Netherlands. There are two pickup locations: Amsterdam & Utrecht. When you arrive at the location, your bike will be waiting for you and you will receive the location of the first checkpoint.
Once you’ve reached the first checkpoint, the location of the next one will be revealed, and so on. Five checkpoints later and about 150km further you will arrive back at our Amsterdam store where we will draw up the results. This event is not just about speed; route skills, navigation and the ability to improvise will play important roles. Eternal glory awaits at the finish line...

What is included
At Maats we are big fans of gravel rides. Whereas road cycling is more about speed, distance and performance, a gravel bike gives you the freedom to choose any path you encounter, making it more about exploring, adventure and fun.
In the past, riding a gravel route from our original store location in Amsterdam posed quite a challenge, and that's why we are so happy with our shop in Utrecht. Finally we have a place where you are on the first unpaved section within a few kilometers.
During the autumn and winter months, we proudly organize the Maats Off-Road Social. Because it can be busy in the surroundings of Utrecht, spots are limited: with a maximum of 25 participants, we ride in small groups of 5-6 people. Start and finish at Maats Utrecht. Curious about the routes? Check our Komoot collection page. We pick one of these routes for the event.
How it works:
A couple of days before the start of the event, we will send you all the info you need.
This event is in honor of the relationship between cycling and the world of sparkling wines. And what complements a glass of bubbles better than fresh oysters? We've created a beautiful route of +/- 150km that travels through the Biesbosch to Yerseke. Departures are available from both our stores in Amsterdam and in Utrecht. The routes will then merge around Schoonhoven and continue together towards Yerseke.
Upon arrival in Yerseke, one of the province's oyster capitals, you can indulge in a beachside aperitif while treating yourself to oysters that were freshly picked that same morning! There will be plenty of time to enjoy the local Zeeland ambiance and, of course, the oysters complemented by the sparkling wine! Afterwards, it's an easy 2km ride back to the local train station.

In recent years, Traka has grown into one of the largest off-road events in Europe. Cyclists from all over the world travel to cycling walhalla Girona for an unpaved adventure. Among these people, many regular customers and friends of Maats who have made this event a goals this pre-summer. So are we. We'll bring our Maats Sprinter and our crew would love to see you in Girona and ride together!
On Thursday May 2nd we are organizing the Maats Pizza Ride: The Traka edition. We do a group ride of approximately 45 km on gravel. After returning to Girona, we meet at the Maats Sprinter (exact location to follow) for pizza and drinks. Book a spot to let us know that you're coming and bring €15 cash for pizzas and drinks.
Event Details
We'll send you all info a few days before the event.

Thursday May 9 - 15:30 - Purmerplein, Amsterdam Noord
On Thursday, May 9 (Ascension Day) you will find us at de Ronde van het Purmerplein in Amsterdam Noord. A local and popular cycling event with a long history. Besides the races there is a market and a varied program organized around it by residents and local initiatives. A nice day out all about cycling! You'll love it!
Maats will organize one of the races during de Ronde van het Purmerplein. We present you the Maats Rookie Race. A criterium style open street race for everyone who is not very experienced in riding these types of races but who would like to give it a try.
The riders who have a racing license start in a different category and this competition is intended for people who love to ride their bike and would like to test him/her-self in a criterium and perhaps go home with the cup and flowers. Who knows....
We will organise one race but we have three different classifications: Men, Women and Non-Binary. Please be aware that these kind of events are for people who are new to racing, not for people who are new to cycling... Some experience with high-speed rinding ing groups is recommended.
Participation costs €12.50 and you will receive a starting ticket, bib number, snacks and drinks, photos and prizes for the winners.

Sundays are for riding, discovering new routes and meeting new friends. Maats has got you covered! On this page you'll find the rides we host from our store in Amsterdam.
How does it work?
We organize our socials rides for our customers and to introduce new people to Maats and the brands we sell.
During our social rides we offer you two routes: a longer route of approximately 90 km and a shorter version of approximately 65 km. On the day itself you can choose which distance you want to go ride.
Longer distances are a bit faster (30-32 km/h avg.) and this option is therefore for more advanced cyclists. The pace at the shorter distance is slightly slower (28-30 km/h avg.) and therefore more relaxed and accessible.
What is the level?
Although we love all cyclists, our rides are not for absolute beginners. If you register for our rides, we expect you to be able to ride at least 28 km/h in a group for a minimum of 2+ hours. Experience with group rides is a plus but not a requirement.

Super kwaliteit, goede pasvorm. Erg blij mee voor deze prijs.
While researching plant medicines, Albert Hofmann accidentally absorbed a small amount of purified acid through his fingertips and discovered the powerful effects of LSD as he rode home on a bike. We celebrate this cultural phenomenon with our latest “Trace of Effect” capsule collection.
The Trace Of Effect Bibs are made from predominantly recycled fabrics and feature an amazing Performance Space pad made by Elastic Interface made for the longest rides. These bibs have a longer fit compared to our regular Maats Club Bibs and the laser cut hem is finished with an internally printed silicon gripper that prevents the legs from crawling up.

Super nice and confortable bib
Bij het zien van deze broek, was ik meteen weg van de broek. De kleur, dark purple, is gek, maar mooi. De snit van de broek is anders dan traditional. De stof, de stof is magistraal. Dun, erg dun, maar valt zo ontzettend mooi en lekker over je bovenbenen. En de pad werkt fantastisch. Heb tot nu toe maximaal 4 uur gereden met de broek, vooral op de gravel bike, maar de ondersteuning van de pad is van af het eerste moment tot de laatste fantastisch. Ook voor deze geldt, je moet hem in je wielenkast hebben, zodat je hem keer op keer kan pakken.
Perfect bib shorts. The chamois is not too soft not too hard just Perfect. The bibs length on the legs are slightly longer than other bib shorts I own. The length is perfect for a bit more protection from sun or cooler weather. These bib shorts made me HIGH.
Premium product at a great price.
Welgedaan Maats on this product.

Great asset , perfect for it’s use
Really nice materials and prints, super light and comfortable while riding, the double zipper is also a plus. In my case, I preferred getting a number above my usual (M is my standard) so I took L and found it more suitable.
Fijn licht jasje dat je makkelijk mee kan nemen. Had iets meer lengte mogen hebben voor mijn lichaam.
Mooi gilet - ziet er stijlvol uit, zit goed (misschien wat krap net onder de oksels) en is ook erg licht. Past makkelijk in de zak van je jersey als het warmer wordt tijdens het fietsen
Een gilet wat geen geluid maakt in de wind, geen gewapper, dat heel erg mooi aansluit op je lichaam en zijn/haar werk doet in een aanstekelijke print. Met de dubbele rits. Heel misschien kan deze gilet voor mijn lichaam net 2/3 cm langer zijn.

Prima shirt, mooie kleur en pasvorm en zit lekker. Enige is dat het kraagje wat los zit tov andere shirts, maar vind dit persoonlijk geen probleem.

In April 2023 it was exactly 5 years ago that we opened our store at the van Woustraat in Amsterdam. To celebrate this, we are organizing 5 amazing events this summer. These are events that are in line with the things we have done with Maats in recent years or events that we have wanted to organize for a long time and for which this is the perfect reason.
Maats x Leeman Ride - Dönerdag September 14
At the end of August 2019, together with our neighbors from Leeman Döner, we organized one of the most iconic cycling events in the history of mankind: The Maats x Leeman Ride. This summer we will host already the fourth edition and it will be an even more special one as it is part of our Maats Five Series.
Event beyond imagination.
Trust us, you don't want to miss this one...
Together with MAAP we will organize three events in the coming months to honor the Spring Classics. A three-fold ride series based on three different elements that make the Spring Classics unique:
This is a ride experience where we come together and adapt to constant changes in terrain, weather and unforeseen challenges that make the classics so memorable.
All these three group rides start and end at Maats Amsterdam (9:00am coffee, 09:30am roll out, editions Cobbles & Go Far, and Maats Utrecht (9:30am coffee, 10:00am roll out, edition Bergs). The first two (Cobbles and Bergs) have a distance of approx. 130km the third one (Go Far) will be around 200km.
We'll create multiple groups based on cycling levels - however we aim that the grouop speeds vary between 28 and 32 km/h. There is a halfway stop on all rides. A ticket is mandatory. Participation is at own risk.
We will send you all necessary info and route a few days before the event.
