Maats Traka Pizza Ride
Thursday 02-05 - Girona
The Traka has grown into one of the largest off-road events in Europe. Cyclists from all over the world travel to cycling walhalla Girona for an unpaved adventure. So are we. We'll bring our Maats Sprinter and our crew would love to see you in Girona and ride together! On Thursday May 2nd we are organizing the Maats Pizza Ride: The Traka edition. We do a group ride of approximately 40km on gravel. After returning to Girona, we meet at the Maats Sprinter for pizza and drinks.

Ronde van het Purmerplein
On Thursday, May 9 (Ascension Day) you will find us at de Ronde van het Purmerplein in Amsterdam Noord. We will organize and host one of the races: the Maats Rookie Race. A criterium style open street race for everyone who is not very experienced in riding these types of races but who would like to give it a try. The riders who have a racing license start in a different category and this competition is intended for people who love to ride their bike and would like to test him/her-self in a criterium and perhaps go home with the cup. Who knows....
A Bikepacking Odyssey
May 11-12 - De Veluwe
Maats and PEdALED are teaming up for some bikepacking adventure. Join us on Saturday and Sunday, May 11 to 12, for a weekend of gravel riding, camping, good food and fun people! Together with PEdALED we present ‘A Bikepacking Odyssey’ to celebrate the introduction of PEdALED at Maats!
We will go for a big ride on Saturday (150km and 100km options) with lunch at the halfway point. The ride ends at a beautiful campsite on ‘de Veluwe’ where we’ll pitch our tents and enjoy a night surrounded by nature. We’ll provide dinner and hope you will bring your best campfire stories. Brand Ambassador Quinda Verheul will be there, as well as some people from PEdALED.
Maats X MAAP Spring Classics
Together with MAAP we will organize three events in the coming months to honor the Spring Classics. A three-part ride series based on three different elements that makes the Spring Classics unique: Cobbles, Bergs and Go Far.
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.

Register to rideOur Ride Policy
Maats Social Rides adhere to a no-drop policy in case of technical problems or certain traffic conditions. We assume a certain level of cycling experience/fitness so if you’re unable to hold the minimum target average speed, we may have to consider splitting you from the group so you can continue riding by yourself at your own comfortable speed. Of course, we will discuss this with you whenever the situation occurs. Furthermore, during our rides, some segments inevitably result in a little interval sprint, which is fine, but please wait and regroup at the logical end of the segment.
Participation in Maats rides automatically means you assume full responsibility for your own and/or others' costs/damages. When signing up, you agree to our Terms & Conditions (which you can check here). Any last-minute joiners will be asked to confirm this by placing a signature before departure, if you did not agree to it yet when signing up. A helmet & click pedals are mandatory. Fixies, bikes without brakes, tour bikes, aero bikes, and mounted aero bars are not allowed for Maats rides. For road cycling rides, we also do not allow mountain bikes. We adhere to the Dutch traffic rules, and assume that you have experience with group riding customs.
