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.
Maats Gravel Series
We'd like to introduce you to the Maats Gravel Series: a new series of gravel events with the most beautiful off-road routes in the Netherlands, From November to March, we host a monthly gravel ride in a different part of our country. Start and finish from the Maats Sprinter.
This winter we planned five editions of the Gravel Series:
- Arnhem - Saturday November 25
- Eindhoven - Saturday December 23

Maats Utrecht, Twijnstraat 7
At Maats we are big fans of gravel rides: whereas road cycling is more about distance and performance, a gravel bike gives you the freedom to choose any path you encounter, making it more about exploring and adventure!
We created some nice gravel routes with start from and finish in our Utrecht store. We start with coffee before the ride and end with the Utrecht local legend lunch from Broodje Mario afterwards. What a time to be alive! Costs are €15 including coffee and lunch.

Our 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.
