Friday 21 June 2024
Starting Point: Amsterdam, Utrecht or Zwolle
Maats and Pas Normal Studios would like to invite you to complete the Midsummer Challenge on the longest day of the year: Friday June 21st. We are challenging everyone to ride 200km+ in one go - come join us for a long epic day in the saddle.
The concept is simple: we will take full advantage of the longest day of the year and ride a longer route of no less than 235km. You can choose to start either from our store in Amsterdam, Utrecht or from Ride Fast Bikeshop (our newest shop-in-shop location near Zwolle).
We are organizing the event in cooperation with our premium brand Pas Normal Studios. Brand ambassador Rik de Voogd will join us on the ride from Amsterdam.
All groups ride the same route and have at least two stops. The group that departs from Maats Utrecht, stops in Zwolle and Amsterdam and finishes again in Utrecht. Riders from Amsterdam first go to Utrecht, then Zwolle. During the instore breaks we'll provide food, snacks and drinks. Upon your return, cold beers will be waiting at the finish line.

After successful registration, you'll receive all necessary information and the final route a few days before the event.
Create more space for bottles alongside a frame pack and convert two-bolt bottle cage mounts into three-bolt cargo cage mounts.
The Innovation Lab Bottle Cage Adapter makes it possible to lower or raise bottle cages by 55mm and converts standard two-bolt mounts into three-bolt mounts, allowing for larger cages and greater carrying capacity.
The bottle cage relocator simply bolts onto bottle cage mounts, creating 55mm of vertical movement to make it easier to fit bottles alongside a frame pack. Using the supplied bolts, the bottle cage is then attached directly to the bottle cage adapter. With three mounting points available, it is possible to convert standard two-bolt mounts into three-bolt mounts, capable of carrying cargo cages and increasing carrying capacity.
Made from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, the Innovation Lab Bottle Cage Adapter is low profile and unobtrusive. Some frames will require a single bottle cage relocator, while others (typically smaller frames) will require a pair to minimise overlap with any frame bags. The adapter is most effective at creating space when combined with side entry bottle cages and is compatible with all two and three bolt cages
The bottle cage adjuster is Precision Crafted from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminium alloy and anodized for a scratch-resistant finish. Only the supplied bolts should be used, to ensure adequate clearance between the bottle cage adapter and the frame.
Materials: 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, anodized black; 3 x 7mm M5 hex-headed stainless-steel bolts

Streamlined waterproof storage for accessory mounts with limited clearance and lighter loads.
The Expedition Cargo Cage Pack attaches to cargo cages to provide additional carrying capacity in areas with limited clearance. At 1.3L, it’s the perfect size for tools, spares or compressible spare layers.
The cargo cage bag fastens securely to cargo cages using our unique attachment mechanism, designed for easy attachment and removal. Multiple attachment loops and the ability to cut down the straps ensures that the bag can be attached to any cargo cage.
Precision crafted from a lightweight laminate developed specifically for Apidura, the bag is waterproof, and highly resistant to abrasions and tears. A hands-free air release valve allows for easy packing and compression and allows for access to contents without removal of the pack.

Designed to store the essentials to repair a mid-ride mechanical, our Expedition Tool Pack is a sleek, ultra-compact pack that’s excellent for short rides and bikepacking adventures.
Fitting neatly under the saddle, the tool bag attaches securely to the bike with a velcro-backed Hypalon strap that’s effective even when exposed to road spray and grit – a weakness of traditional zippers and buckles. Inside, there’s enough capacity for two spare road tubes, tire levers, a small multi-tool, and a CO2 canister.
The exterior of the tool bag is protected by a tough, lightweight fabric that’s completely waterproof. Reflective graphics and a light attachment point add visibility in low light.
Materials
The tool bag is cut from a three-layer laminate fabric that was developed specifically for Apidura. The material is lightweight, and is highly resistant to tears and abrasion. Notably, it’s welded together at the seams, creating a watertight seal that ensures complete waterproofing.
The tool bag’s strap is reinforced with Hypalon, a rubberised nylon used to provide extra protection against friction and abrasion.

Designed to provide flexible storage for bulky items on long rides, the Apidura Packable Musette bag compresses into an integrated on-bike pocket for easy storage when not in use. With 7 litres of versatile storage space, this cycling musette bag is useful for carrying food and mid-ride essentials.
The waterproof musette bag is constructed from ultralight materials and features a reversible stability strap for riding comfort. The integrated on-bike storage pocket attaches to the bike frame with an included velcro strap to keep the musette out of the way when not in use.
Apidura's Packable Musette bag has a secure velcro flap closure and the rear of the pack features reflective details for enhanced visibility at night.
The Packable Musette bag is made from RS20D. Designed to meet the demands of long-distance cycling and carrying bulky loads, the material is ultralight and waterproof, with strong tear resistance.
Care: Wash the Packable Musette bag by hand, using a mild diluted soap if necessary. Afterwards, let it air dry. Do not machine wash, machine dry, or iron.
