500 kilometers. Eight days. 24th-31st Dec. The world's favorite festive cycling challenge is back. This year we got your covered and will host the Festive500 from our Maats store in Utrecht.

Maats is the spot in the Utrecht region where you can shop Rapha and that is why we would like to be a clubhouse and facilitate people who want to challenge themselves and defy the Festive500.

We host three social rides with a distance of 100km, on 24-12, 27-12 and 30-12. You're invited to join us and conquer the Festive500 challenge.

A complete set of precision hex wrenches and bit drivers that elevates the look and feel of any home mechanic's tool kit.

One of the first things you notice in the toolboxes of top level motorsport or Pro-Tour mechanics are extremely high quality hex keys. The reasoning is simple; better tool fit leads to better feel and confidence for the mechanic as well as a significant reduction in the likelihood of damaging exotic fasteners made from Titanium or Aluminum. For the HX-ONE, we use the finest S2 tool steel; a shock resistant steel which has been refined by toolmakers for the optimal balance of strength, hardness, shock resistance and dimensional control. The keys are then coated with thin-dense chrome and a high-grip, high-visibility textured polymer finish for maximum grip and control. Included with the HX-ONE ESSENTIAL KIT is the proprietary SILCA 17-4 Stainless Magnetic Adapter. The adapter turns the 6mm hex key into a ¼” bit driver.

• CNC machined Beechwood box with magnetic closure
• S2 steel hex keys: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10mm
• Red polymer coating for superior grip
• Custom 6mm to 1/4" bit adapter
• S2 steel Torx® bits: T8, T10, T15, T20, T25 and T30
• S2 steel Screw bits: PH1, PH2, SL4 and SL5

Join us at De Proloog in Amerongen for an unforgettable day full of gravel. We’ve been cooking on three unique loops that will take you on trails you've likely never seen before. Each loop is unique and different, and you decide the order and how many loops you want to ride. All three starts and ends at our base at De Proloog. 

The event offers three loops, each approximately 50 km. You decide how many loops you want to ride—take on one, two, or all three! That means you can ride anywhere from 50 km to 150 km. It’s your day to explore at your own pace. Ride by yourself, as a team or join a group: it's all good!

Here’s the schedule for the day:

• 09:00 – Meet at De Proloog l for coffee and ride briefing

• After the ride, return to De Proloog for a well-deserved serving of local soup and bread, included in your ticket.
• 16:00 - Finish Time

What bike to bring? A gravel, CX or MTB bike is what you need. You’ll be riding a mix of gravel, sand, and pavement, so get ready for a diverse ride.

Included in your ticket:

• Three specially curated routes
• Pre-ride coffee
• Post-ride soup and bread
• A fantastic day of gravel riding with great company

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.

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.
