Weekend trips have been one of the most requested additions to Maats Travels, and we're kicking things off with a great one. No race entry, no pressure just a long weekend of great riding, great food, and great company in one of France's most beautiful cycling regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe location\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eL'Échappée Vosgienne is a hotel built for sport and recovery, set in the heart of Gérardmer in the Vosges mountains. We've taken over the entire hotel exclusively for Maats Members. Think comfortable twin rooms with locally crafted bedding, full access to the sports and wellness facilities, and a kitchen run by a dedicated chef who knows that cyclists need more than a sad buffet. Meals are built around local produce, nutritional balance, and dietary needs — so whether you're fuelling hard or recovering smart, you're covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe programme\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriday 21 August\u003c\/strong\u003e — check in from 16:00 and get straight into it with an 85km ride to stretch the legs after the journey.
