Maats x NOWcc La Grande Fête
NOWcc is turning 5 and as a Maats affiliated club, we want to celebrate this with our communities!
Picture this: Imagine pedaling through a sun-dappled forest, the hum of wheels on gravel, the scent of pine and summer grass. And as we leave the forest and the heath behind, a long table appears in the sunshine, shimmering with glassware, platters, and laughter. You park your bike, take your seat among familiar faces and new ones, and share stories over bubbles and cake. Then, recharged, you roll on toward the ride’s final stretch.
With La Grande Fête, we celebrate five extraordinary years of the No Ordinary Women Cycling Club by merging our communities.
Meaning, this ride is open to all genders and is a tribute to the power of community!

Reminder: This will be a social paced event where safety stands first. Therefore experience riding in groups and group riding skills, such as knowing hand signals, are required to ensure a safe group ride. We try to maintain a riding speed 30-32 km/h and take turns at the front. On straight roads we sometimes increase the tempo or do bridge sprints, just because it's fun! We always regroup afterwards.
