Maats Membership: Looking Ahead to 2026

Maats Membership just turned one! Over the past year we’ve grown towards 100 members, learned a lot, and built a solid foundation for the future. We also asked for your feedback through a survey, which gave us many valuable insights. Based on this, we’ve gone back to the drawing board to take Maats Membership to the next level in 2026.

We’d love to invite you to our Rotterdam store, where we’ll present our plans for the upcoming year. During the evening we’ll share:

• The key results from the membership survey
  
• How Maats Membership will look in 2026
  
• The annual calendar of events

Of course, there will also be plenty of time to ask questions and share your ideas — we’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can further shape Maats Membership together.

Monday September 29th, 10:00 Maastricht 
(Members Only)

When we started Maats a few years ago, Monday was our only day off for a long period. Because we started Maats from the love for cycling, there was always riding that day. On the day when most people were in the office or at work, we rode our bikes every Monday. Maats Monday was born.

In recent years we rode some cool routes during Maats Mondays. We often got the question from people if they could join. Thats why we are organizing the Maats Monday: Limburg Edition, on Monday September 29th.

Would you like to ride with us on Maats Monday? Take a day off, buy a ticket and arrange your transport to Limburg. We'll see you there for a wonderful day of cycling.

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

At Maats, we couldn’t be prouder to welcome you in three different stores this year — and that calls for something epic, something truly unique.

Last spring, we hosted the Store-to-Store-to-Store: Road Edition, which turned into a huge success with around 60 riders joining us across our locations. Now that summer is behind us, it’s time to hit the dirt with an off-road version: Store-to-Store-to-Store: Gravel Gems.

Designing a proper gravel route through the Randstad is no easy feat — but we’ve done our homework and uncovered some hidden off-road gems you might not know yet. The result is a ~200 km route that mainly follows roads but includes every gravel path we could possibly link between the three biggest cities in the Netherlands.

Choose your starting point: Maats Amsterdam, Maats Utrecht, or Maats Rotterdam.
All groups roll out at 09:30 and will pass by every Maats store along the way.

Coffee will be served from 09:00 at all three starting locations. At each store stop during the ride, you’ll find fresh drinks, warm coffee, and snacks waiting to refuel you.

And of course, we’ll wrap it all up with cold beers and soft drinks — because after a ride like this, you’ve definitely earned it.

Ride details
Sunday 19 October 2025
09:00 meet-up | 09:30 roll-out
Start at Maats AMS, UTR, or RTM
~200 km route | All Maats stores serve as coffee stops

Sign up via our booking tool — all registered riders will receive the final details and GPX route file a few days before the event. Registration is required.

We can’t wait to ride this one with you!

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. 

Practical info

Rooms are twin-shared with two separate beds. Single rooms are not available due to capacity. You'd like to room with a specific person, let us know when booking.

Need to bring your bike by van? We've got space in the Maats Sprinter for 12 bikes — first come first served. Prefer to drive yourself or travel by train? Gérardmer is easy to reach independently.

What's included

• 2 nights at L'Échappée Vosgienne (twin room, shared, separate beds)
• Friday Dinner
• Saturday breakfast, lunch (halfway on route) & dinner
• Sunday breakfast & coffee stop
• Access to all hotel sports and wellness facilities
  
• Bike transport in the Maats Sprinter (12 spots, first come first served)

What's not included

• Travel to and from Gérardmer
• Personal expenses

Pricing

The total cost is €450 per person, payable in full at the time of booking. There are 25 spots available — once they're gone, they're gone.

This trip is exclusively available to Maats Members. Interested in joining but not a member yet? Check here.
