The Maats Sprinter is ready to rumble for the second season of Local Loops! This summer we're driving our van to various cities in The Netherlands and organize Maats Local Loops.

Local Legends

Who better to ask to create a local route than a Local Legend? We have a few friends that comes from Haarlem or live there and would like to show us around. They help us out with creating the perfect route, tell us where to stop for coffee and know where you can best finish your ride for cold beers and snacks. We will tell you more about these local legends when the date comes closer.

Monday August 26th, 10:00 Maastricht

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 August 26th.

This year we organise this Maats Monday classic in collaboration with our friend from Off the Map. A brandnew bikestore in the center of Maastricht that is recently opened and the place to go for a new bike, repairs and a fresh new Canvas kit. 

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.

Details

• 10:00 gathering at Off the Map Maastricht with coffee
• Approx. 140 km route through Zuid-Limburg, with a lot of (punchy) hilly climbs in different groups (also shortcut possibilities to shorten your ride by 20-25km)
• Including: Coffee before the start, lunchstop halfway and Pizza and Beers at the finish at Off the Map
  
• Costs €45 per person, ticket required
• Max 35 participants

After booking a ticket we send you a briefing a few days before the event.

Monday, April 14th, 10:00 Oudenaarde

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

Previously, Mondays at Maats were always dedicated to a bike ride with the crew since our shops are closed and for most people the new work week starts. Out of love for cycling we always wanted to spend this day well by going for a nice loop: Maats Monday was born. 

Last year, we organized the very first official Maats Monday for our community in Limburg, which was a huge success. It was a beautiful and unforgettable day on the bike with a big group of our community.
That left us wanting more! So this year, we’re heading to the heart of Belgian cycling for the second edition, which will be a Member Exclusive Event: Maats Monday: Flanders! 

On Monday, April 14th, we start in Oudenaarde, which is the beating heart of the Flanders region. Expect an epic ride over the legendary climbs and cobbles of the Tour of Flanders.
Want to be well-rested at the start? There is an option to book a hotel room at Hotel Leopold in Oudenaarde for the night of Sunday, April 13th to Monday, April 14th. Costs for a hotel room is €125 (single) or €145 (double), breakfast included. 

Want to join us for Maats Monday? Take the day off, sign up through the link, and arrange your stay in Oudenaarde (optionally). We promise you an unforgettable day on the bike!
