For several years now, we've been teaming up with the International Cycling Club (ICC) from Pas Normal Studios. The concept is simple: a long day on the bike around the longest day of the year, June 21st.

This year, we're taking things to the next level with a full weekend experience. Jimbo and Andreas from PNS will be bringing the ICC bus to the Netherlands for a weekend packed with rides and challenges.

On Friday, June 27th, we’ll kick off the weekend with a Friday evening ride from our Rotterdam store, covering approximately 60 kilometers. After the ride, we’ll return to the store for cold drinks and burgers.
