New on the Maats Travels calendar: a weekend escape to the Vosges.

21-23 Augustus 2026

You've been asking for it and here it is. Weekend trips have been one of the most requested additions to Maats Travels, and we're kicking things off with a great one. No race entry, no pressure just a long weekend of great riding, great food, and great company in one of France's most beautiful cycling regions.

The location

L'Échappée Vosgienne is a brand new hotel built for sport and recovery, set in the heart of Gérardmer in the Vosges mountains. Think comfortable twin rooms with locally crafted bedding, full access to the sports and wellness facilities, and a kitchen run by a dedicated chef who knows that cyclists need more than a sad buffet. Meals are built around local produce, nutritional balance, and dietary needs — so whether you're fuelling hard or recovering smart, you're covered.

The programme

Friday 21 August — check in from 16:00 and get straight into it with an 75-85km ride to stretch the legs after the journey. Dinner together at the hotel. Perfect start to the weekend.

Saturday 22 August — Big day ahead. After breakfast, choose your route: a 120km or 160km ride through the climbs and valleys of the Vosges. Both options are fully supported. Dinner together in the evening to celebrate surviving it.

Sunday 23 August — Breakfast and check-out at 10:00 then a relaxed coffee ride of 50–65km to spin out the legs and end the weekend the right way.

Maats x Alba Optics

October 17 - Maats Amsterdam

On Sunday, thousands of runners will take on 21.1 or 42.2 km through Amsterdam, chasing PRs and checking their splits every kilometre. The day before, we’re doing it our way: on two wheels and without looking at the watch.

It’s a social ride with Alba Optics, a brand that has never cared about finishing first. Alba’s story started with an original Italian frame mould from the 80s, which they brought back with new technology to make their first model, the Delta. Since then they’ve stood for riding that’s about quality of life, not performance: getting wherever you want, in any condition, and looking good doing it. Maats has backed that idea from day one, and we’ve been proud partners for almost ten years. We just getting started.....

So leave the gels at home and bring your best shades. No splits, no podium, just a good morning on the bike with good people.

Ride info:

• Saturday October 17
• 09:00 gathering at Maats Amsterdam, van Woustraat 165
• 09:30 roll-out
  
• Distance: 50 km

When we’re back, coffee & snacks are waiting for you. Think of it as carb-loading for the runners we’ll be cheering on tomorrow.

Alba Optics x Maats: Sunset Run

From day one, Maats has been all about the love for cycling. Now, for the first time in the history of Maats, we're lacing up our running shoes, taking a new step: we're going to run!

Lots of cyclists go for a run more and more (and vice versa) and we cannot deny the mutual interest from both sides. Maats does not want to run behind on this (...😉). Hence we're going to do something crazy, to discover whether or not running suits Maats.

Together with Alba Optics, we’re hosting a Sunset Run  – a laid-back after hours Community Run starting from our store in Rotterdam, the city known for the marathon and it's ever growing running culture. 

Because we are going to try something completely new, we want to make this a memorable evening: Emiel Berghout, Brand Ambassador and Running influencer, will join us to bring the energy and make awesome content.

Whether you’re an experienced runner or simply curious to join this new vibe – everyone is welcome! 

Event information:

• Friday October 3rd
• Maats Rotterdam, Hoogstraat 56A 
  
• Gathering: 18:00
• Start run: 18:30
• Distance: 7 km, pace: 6:00 min/km

Every year Albion Cycling uses the lack Friday period as an opportunity to encourage customers to repair rather than replace their kit, and this year they are bringing their mobile repair station to Maats Amsterdam, offering free repairs on any brand of cycling clothing! 

25 November 2026 - 12:00 till 17:00 - Maats Amsterdam, van Woustraat 165-h 1074 AK Amsterdam

From 12:00 the Albion team will be on hand the whole day to meet customers. They will also teach you how to easily repair your kit at home, with a free repair kit for take away! There’ll also be Albion gifts throughout the day for Albion purchases in-store.

NOTE: This is all about fixing scrapes and tears, and the focus is on patch repairs. Big repairs like zip replacements will not be available on the day due to the time they take.

Details:

• All day repair service on all cycling apparel by the Albion crew
• Learn how to repair your kit at home

Sunday, May 17 | MAATS RTM

In the world of cycling, a chasse patate is a hopeless chase between groups. On Sunday, May 17, Maats and Rotterdam icon Bram Ladage are redefining the term: a hunt for the finest potato in the city. This ride is all about that golden, hand-cut reward.

Bram Ladage
What started as a single fry stand in 1967 has grown into a true Rotterdam institution, with over 45 locations. Still family-run, still hand-cutting every potato, and still the undisputed home of the Bram Oorlog. A Brammetje isn’t something you just grab  it’s something you earn. We’re proud to team up with this Rotterdam icon and bring this event to life together.

The Ride: Hunting the Source
We depart at 09:30 from our shop on the Hoogstraat for an 80km loop. This isn’t just any route; we’re heading to the Hoeksche Waard to ride past the very fields where Bram’s potatoes are grown. The theme of this ride is Flow so riding speed will be around 30 km/h (28-29-ish avarage)

The Reward: The BramBus
Upon our return to the shop, the legendary BramBus (food truck) will be waiting right outside. Refuel with the ultimate Rotterdam classic: a fresh "Brammetje" with their signature sauces—including the famous Bram Oorlog—paired with a variety of hot snacks (with plenty of vegetarian options) and ice-cold drinks.

Schedule & Details
- 09:00: Coffee and gathering at Maats Rotterdam
- 09:30: Departure
- 12:30: The BramBus opens for post-ride refueling
- Tickets: €15 (Includes guided ride, fries, snacks, and two drinks)

Registration is required. Grab your ticket now and join us for the first-ever edition of this new-born Rotterdam classic!
