Hi all! I'm looking for riding partners in the Hilversum area. Someone who's interested in doing weekly/bi-weekly training rides together and the occasional race. Maybe there already is a group near me that I can join? If so please do get in touch.

Anyway, to make it easier to match our interests, here is some more info about me:
  • Age: 39
  • MTB Riding experience : 3 years
  • Bike: Scott Spark 920 (2018)
  • Riding interests: sporty/race. I enjoy pushing myself to get faster and better and am looking for riding partners who want to do the same. I especially like longer rides (3-5 hours) and try to do one at least every Saturday morning.
  • Riding style: xc/endurance/marathon
  • Weekly riding distance: 150-250km
  • Favorite trails:
    • Lage/Hoge Vuursche
    • Hoge Ginkel/Amerongen/Leersum
    • Rhenen/Kwintelooijen
    • Schoorl
  • Personal bests:
    • Lage Vuursche = 29.20min
    • Hoge Vuursche = 57.00min
  • What will I NOT do:
    • Training rides under the rain
    • Rides shorter than 2 hours
Hope to hear from the you all soon!

Good luck. Within 5 years this forum turned from a xc oriëntated forum to a enduro forum.

It seems that with less than 140mm of plush travel front and rear there is no way you can ride the gnarly trails of the lowlands.

Damn, really? I rode with hundreds of XC guys on Sunday at Lakebike 24. Where are all these people when not racing?

Don't worry, Maverick tends to overreact a bit sometimes. I think the majority of Dutch riders do it on a 29er XC hardtail. This forum might be starting to lean a bit more towards full suspensions with a bit more travel, but thats probably also because they are taking them abroad more.
On the other hand, gravelbikes are also gaining more popularity, so maybe Maverick is just looking for something to kick against :lol:

Well I still haven't found anyone yet and the local mtb clubs seem to all be pretty inactive. So I started this meetup:

If you're interested in training and racing together come join us there!
