At Maats we are big fans of gravel rides. Whereas road cycling is more about speed, distance and performance, a gravel bike gives you the freedom to choose any path you encounter, making it more about exploring, adventure and fun.
In the past, riding a gravel route from our original store location in Amsterdam posed quite a challenge, and that's why we are so happy with our shop in Utrecht. Finally we have a place where you are on the first unpaved section within a few kilometers.
During the autumn and winter months, we proudly organize the Maats Off-Road Social. Because it can be busy in the surroundings of Utrecht, spots are limited: with a maximum of 25 participants, we ride in small groups of 5-6 people. Start and finish at Maats Utrecht. Curious about the routes? Check our Komoot collection page. We pick one of these routes for the event.
How it works:
A couple of days before the start of the event, we will send you all the info you need.
This event is in honor of the relationship between cycling and the world of sparkling wines. And what complements a glass of bubbles better than fresh oysters? We've created a beautiful route of +/- 150km that travels through the Biesbosch to Yerseke. Departures are available from both our stores in Amsterdam and in Utrecht. The routes will then merge around Schoonhoven and continue together towards Yerseke.
Upon arrival in Yerseke, one of the province's oyster capitals, you can indulge in a beachside aperitif while treating yourself to oysters that were freshly picked that same morning! There will be plenty of time to enjoy the local Zeeland ambiance and, of course, the oysters complemented by the sparkling wine! Afterwards, it's an easy 2km ride back to the local train station.

We will organise one race but we have three different classifications: Men, Women and Non-Binary. Please be aware that these kind of events are for people who are new to racing, not for people who are new to cycling... Some experience with high-speed rinding ing groups is recommended.

Sundays are for riding, discovering new routes and meeting new friends. Maats has got you covered! On this page you'll find the rides we host from our store in Amsterdam.
How does it work?
We organize our socials rides for our customers and to introduce new people to Maats and the brands we sell.
During our social rides we offer you two routes: a longer route of approximately 90 km and a shorter version of approximately 65 km. On the day itself you can choose which distance you want to go ride.
Longer distances are a bit faster (30-32 km/h avg.) and this option is therefore for more advanced cyclists. The pace at the shorter distance is slightly slower (28-30 km/h avg.) and therefore more relaxed and accessible.
What is the level?
Although we love all cyclists, our rides are not for absolute beginners. If you register for our rides, we expect you to be able to ride at least 28 km/h in a group for a minimum of 2+ hours. Experience with group rides is a plus but not a requirement.
Book your spot

In April 2023 it was exactly 5 years ago that we opened our store at the van Woustraat in Amsterdam. To celebrate this, we are organizing 5 amazing events this summer. These are events that are in line with the things we have done with Maats in recent years or events that we have wanted to organize for a long time and for which this is the perfect reason.
Maats x Leeman Ride - Dönerdag September 14
At the end of August 2019, together with our neighbors from Leeman Döner, we organized one of the most iconic cycling events in the history of mankind: The Maats x Leeman Ride. This summer we will host already the fourth edition and it will be an even more special one as it is part of our Maats Five Series.
Event beyond imagination.
Trust us, you don't want to miss this one...
Together with MAAP we will organize three events in the coming months to honor the Spring Classics. A three-fold ride series based on three different elements that make the Spring Classics unique:
This is a ride experience where we come together and adapt to constant changes in terrain, weather and unforeseen challenges that make the classics so memorable.
All these three group rides start and end at Maats Amsterdam (9:00am coffee, 09:30am roll out, editions Cobbles & Go Far, and Maats Utrecht (9:30am coffee, 10:00am roll out, edition Bergs). The first two (Cobbles and Bergs) have a distance of approx. 130km the third one (Go Far) will be around 200km.
We'll create multiple groups based on cycling levels - however we aim that the grouop speeds vary between 28 and 32 km/h. There is a halfway stop on all rides. A ticket is mandatory. Participation is at own risk.
