Maats Explorer Twente Report

Zondag 15 december vond de eerste editie van de Maats Explorer plaats. De start en finish waren in Lonneker, in de omgeving van Enschede. Meer dan 100 deelnemers waren naar Twente afgereisd voor dit nieuwe Maats event. Tijdens de Explorer series organiseren we events op uitdagende locaties door het hele land.

Het was een perfecte dag met goed weer, twee uitdagende routes en diverse stops, mogelijk gemaakt door onze eventpartners. Op deze pagina een impressie.

Maats Explorer Twente Gravel 75 km

Onze routebouwer Jan-Bert had voor de Maats Explorer Twente twee routes met zorg en uiterste precisie samengesteld. De 75 km was uitdagend en technisch met veel single tracks en bospaden. De twee stops, een voor koffie en een voor soep, waren meer dan welkom.  Voor de twijfelaars was er op circa 40 kilometer de mogelijkheid om te switchen van route.

Maats Explorer Twente Gravel 125 km

Deelnemers die gekozen hadden voor de langere afstand, reden het eerste gedeelte over dezelfde route als de kortere variant. Aan de bovenkant van de langere route zat een extra lus. Deze ging de Duitse grens over en met name de afstand in combinatie met de nattte en technische bospaden maakte deze afstand erg uitdagend.

Il Magistrale - Koffie

Onze koffieleverancier en eventpartner Il Magistrale was bij het event aanwezig als koffiestop.  De super toffe omgebouwde brandweerbus van Bas stond midden in het bos op een kleine 30 kilomter van de start. Perfecte afstand voor een hele fijne koffiestop.

Cannondale - Testbikes

Cannondale was bikepartner tijdens het Explorer event. In totaal waren er circa 20 deelnemers in de gelukkige positie om een Topstone SRAM Etap te mogen testen tijdens het event. Perfecte Weapon of Choice voor een technische en uitdagende gravelroute.

Komoot - De Route

Routebuilder Komoot was de officiële routepartner van Maats Explorer. Alle deelnemers hadden de route ontvangen via deze app en ontvingen daarnaast een code om het gebied Oost Nederland gratis te kunnen unlocken om te gebruiken tijdens het event.

Canvas Solid Longsleeve Jersey Chalk

€165.00
Only 5 in stock!

The Amsterdam-based brand Canvas has updated not just the colours of their newest Solid Longsleeve jersey but also had a look at the material. The Canvas Longsleeve Jersey is made for rides on those cooler days and can be matched perfectly with the Canvas Solid Merino Baselayer and Canvas All Weather jacket or gilet for a full autumn/winter kit.

The nature-inspired colours are as soft as the blend of materials. The Solid longsleeve jersey is made from a mix of silky soft polyamide and elastane by the Italian mill Carvico which is known for creating some of the best materials in cycling. On the back, a lateral reinforcement was added to make sure the fit stays true, even when you load the three back pockets with food or tools for your ride.

The jersey stands out with three large back pockets in stylish contrasting colours, a water (so also sweat) proof zipped pocket and the reflective Canvas logo and patch on the back. Our model Ewout is 185 cm and wears size Medium.

  • Super soft and supple Carvico fabric
  • Reflective logos on the front and back
  • Low cut neck and long raglan sleeves
  • Reinforced back panel
  • Elastic band with gripper
  • Three large pockets, including a waterproof pocket for your valuables
  • Soft zipper protector on the inside
  • 80% Polyamide / 20% Elastane
  • Designed in Amsterdam, produced in the EU
