Midsummer Weekend 2026: Challenge
For several years now, we've been teaming up with the International Cycling Club (ICC) from Pas Normal Studios for a series of event around the Midsummer weekend — and this year, we're taking things to the next level.
Ruben and Andreas from PNS are bringing the ICC bus to the Netherlands for a full Midsummer Weekend packed with rides, challenges and familiar faces. Joined by PNS Brand Ambassadors, it's going to be a weekend to remember.
On Saturday 20 June, we host our annual 200km Midsummer Ride — this year starting from Maats Rotterdam.
A long day in the saddle on one of the longest days of the year. A loop of approximately 200km, ridden in multiple groups. The ride will be an Advanced Ride, so come well prepared ;-) The PNS van will be out on the road providing support at the halfway point.
We finish at Ahoy Rotterdam. But we're not done there. After the ride, we head straight into a short and fast criterium on the track, with prizes for the winners. Open only to riders who complete the full 200km loop. Then we close the day the right way: BBQ, ice cold beers, and good company.
