Every week we have two open trainings were you can join us. Tuesday at 18:30 and Sunday at 10:00. We always gather in front of the University Sports Center (UM Sports). Both trainings last for 2 hours and the training is for road cyling and mountain biking. If you don’t have a bike and/or a helmet yet, let us know! We have a few club bikes and helmets available. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate and contact us by mail: dm.maastricht@gmail.com. Hopefully we see you there!

We look back at a very memorable DM-Classic. Thanks to all participants, Rivazza, the lovely surroundings of Maastricht and the unpredictable, apocalyptic weather, last Sunday was filled with eating good food and bike rides that were already given the predicate ‘epic’ after the first few kilometres. Although the participants had to endure severe heat, thunderstorms, torrential rain, hailstones and some pretty though climbs, everyone made it back to UM Sports safely at the end of the day. The delicious pasta that was served there was devoured with love. We hope to see all of you die-hards next year again.

Last Saturday DM held their annually Serious Tour. This year Serious Request was held in Apeldoorn and 14 brave cyclists from DM were going to ride from Maastricht to Apeldoorn. The cyclists left at 7.45 AM in front of the building of UMsports. Behind the cyclists Merel and Maud rode in the club car (Polly) to ensure a safe trip.

Despite the many flat tires (nine in total), the group had a nice pace and the trip was going well. After 140 km it was time for a well-deserved lunch in Nijmegen. Finally, the group reached Apeldoorn at 6 PM after they rode 190 km.

DM collected with the Serious Tour an amount of €1145,- for the Red Cross! We want to thank everyone who contributed to make this happen!
