After a night at the campsite—most of us in tents, a few lucky ones tucked into the hay—we packed up our bikes again for a big day out. The morning started gently, but after a good lunch the scenery shifted dramatically. We rolled into the spectacular “Little Canada”—a wild landscape of dense forests

The first day of The Weekender – Oberland Edition began with a relaxed start. By 11 a.m., riders gathered at the Canyon Bike Store in Munich, where Iris and her crew welcomed everyone with warm smiles. Goodie bags were handed out, coffee and croissants were consumed, and of course there was a lot of

The final day of The Weekender! Not the longest day, but we wanted to finish in Maastricht on time so we could properly celebrate this weekend together. So, we left early again. Had a first coffee stop with some huge pieces of cake after 28 km and then followed the canal to ride into the Hoge Kempen

Day 2 of The Weekender is going to be a long and hard one! Many participants leave early to beat the heat and to make sure there is enough time for stops. Like on day 1, the route covers a lot of national parks/nature reserves, which means you need to plan your stops so you are not without water in the

On Fridaymorning we made our way up to Nijmegen to gather at Cafe de Zweef. A great location to meet all the participants for The Weekender and to set off for three days of adventuring! Fuelled up with coffee and cake we get our bikes, admire each others set up and ride off! It's not an easy start as

Today we made our way back from the house to Off The Map Maastricht. A very cold start with some snowfall on the Hautes-Fagnes! Still, today was easier than yesterday. A lot less climbing and we even had time for a bakery and a coffee stop :)
We rode all day with a big group of about 12 women which was

The Sleepover, a winter journey with iris.cc, HeyHeydeHaas & Off The Map Maastricht
Today was a proper winter bikepacking experience! We rode out of Maastricht in the pouring rain, followed by quite some climbing all the way to the highest point of Belgium. It was a tough day out there, my group made

The final stretch! The third day was the final 85 kilometers from Weert into the center of Maastricht. Before we could finish this amazing weekender with a pasta party at Fixed Gear Coffee we had a beautiful ride through Nationaal Park de Hoge Kempen.

On the second day of the IRIS x Komoot Women's Weekender we rode from Alphen to Weert, from one lovely campsite to the next!
There were a few coffees and (much needed) ice cream stops along the route. The route, designed by @Yorit Kluitman, was again a good mix of hardpack gravel, forest roads, a few

First day of the IRIS x Komoot Women's Weekender, a three-day cycling adventure in the Benelux for women.
This first day we rode from Kamu cycling cafe in Breda to Alphen for the first night. A fun route with a good mix of hardpack gravel, forest tracks and coffee stops!

Another day of the women's weekender. Due to the bad weather forecast, we left early for Freiburg and shortened the route. Despite this, the route was still beautiful, especially the first part from the campsite. Mostly down hill today!

After a cool night at this beautiful camping spot, we first descended to the first village to raid the bakery for breakfast! Then it was on and off all day. Once again a nice mix of gravel and asphalt. A good lunch at the Schluchsee and then quickly to the campsite. Just not in before the rain!

We woke to the soft patter of rain on the tent roof—a gentle wake-up call for the final day. The ride back to Munich unfolded through peaceful river valleys and picturesque hills, a serene farewell from the Oberland. A heavy rain shower briefly broke the calm, but a hearty plate of Kaiserschmarrn gave
