The Maats Van is ready to rumble! As of this summer, we're driving the van to various cities in The Netherlands and organize Maats Local Loops. One of the first cities we go to is Maastricht, and next to our local customers, we'd like to invite you to come and ride with us!
Date: Sunday September 24th
The concept is simple:
Local Legend
Our local legend in Zwolle is Thijs Kroon. He visited our store in Amsterdam a couple of times, and we have always kept in touch ever since. Maybe you've seen him at one of our events. You might also know Thijs from his RideFastBikeShop and his work as a mechanic for team BEAT. All in all, we deem him to be the perfect tour guide for the Zwolle region!

Who better to ask to create a local route than a Local Legend? Meet Fleur and David. Fleur has been part of the Maats Family from the very beginning. When she lived in Amsterdam a few years ago, she came to work in our store and was on of our first members of staff. Fleur has been living with her boyfriend David for a few years now just below Maastricht.
David is a professional rider with the French team Arkea-Samsic. He has been training in the region for years and knows this area like the back of his hand. David made a nice and challenging route for Maats.

Maats x Leeman Ride - Dönerdag 4 September
At the end of August 2019, together with our neighbors from Leeman Döner, we organized a ride that turned out to be one of the most iconic cycling events in the history of mankind: The Maats x Leeman Ride.
Last year, to celebrate the fifth edition of this legendary ride, we teamed up with Leeman Döner to create a limited-edition T-shirt. It was a big hit — and now it's time for version 3.0! For this year's edition, you can choose between two ticket options:
a standard ticket for the event (includes ride, doner + 2 drinks)
or a combo ticket that includes both the event and the exclusive Maats x Leeman T-shirt (€45). You only pay for the t-shirt and the drinks, the legendary Doner is on us. The T-shirt will be ready for pick-up in our AMS store at the date of het event.
An event beyond imagination. Trust us, you don't want to miss this one...
The STYRKR GEL50 Dual-Carb Energy Gel is built around a simple goal: to give athletes more. It is a quick and convenient dual-carb energy gel packed with 50 g of carbohydrates, designed to help push the limits during training, racing, and longer endurance efforts. Built with just 6 ingredients and now updated with an improved natural flavour, it focuses on delivering maximum energy without unnecessary extras.
The formula uses two transportable carbohydrates, maltodextrin and fructose, in a 1:0.8 ratio to improve carbohydrate oxidation and help reduce gut discomfort compared to other common ratios. It is pH-balanced, gentle on the stomach, vegan-friendly, and made without unnecessary preservatives. Durable packaging with 35% reduced plastic rounds out a gel designed for high carb intake with minimal fuss.

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 September 29th.

This year it’s 5 years ago that we opened our store at the van Woustraat in Amsterdam. To celebrate this, we are organizing a series of 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.
Dropping - Saturday Oct 14
This is a new event based on a typical Dutch concept: a dropping. Imagine a departure in the early morning hours with a touring car to an unknown destination somewhere in the Netherlands. There are two pickup locations: Amsterdam & Utrecht. When you arrive at the location, your bike will be waiting for you and you will receive the location of the first checkpoint.
Once you’ve reached the first checkpoint, the location of the next one will be revealed, and so on. Five checkpoints later and about 150km further you will arrive back at our Amsterdam store where we will draw up the results. This event is not just about speed; route skills, navigation and the ability to improvise will play important roles. Eternal glory awaits at the finish line...

Midsummer Race - Friday June 30
When you think of bike races you automatically come to club races. Individual, performance driven and straight home after the race. We think it would be cool to make a combination between racing and also a bit of community and fun. That is why we organize a Midsummer race on friday evening, followed by a bbq and some drinks with friends.
We gather at 19:00 at sports park de Weren in Amsterdam Noord. After a short ride briefing, we ride as a group for a warm-up period for 30 minutes. After ringing the bell, we ride a race of 60 minutes for the men and 45 minutes for the women (combined in one race). Afterwards prize ceremony, beers and burgers from the Maats Bus.
Don't feel like racing but want to watch and cheer on the riders? Buy a Spectator ticket for cheering and the bbq.
For who is this race? For all Maats customers/community members who like to race and test themselves on a closed circuit, with or without race experience.
