Wildhood has been around since 2020. From day one, it’s been all about adventure riding, being outdoors, and sharing the ride with good people. Looking back, we’ve already stacked up six solid years of epic rides, campfires, muddy bikes, and big smiles with the Wildhood crew. Watching this community grow the way it has? That’s something we’re seriously proud of.

If you’re into rough stuff — gravel, dirt roads, singletrack, and no-frills grassroots adventures — Wildhood is probably the cycling club you’ve been looking for. We’re not your traditional matchy-matchy club with rules and routines. Think of Wildhood as a place to ride, hang out, and connect with fellow dirtbags who love getting lost, getting dirty, and coming back with stories.

We’re back with a fresh package for 2026 — and it’s a good one. Wildhood will host 4 Club Rides, each one a full-on day adventure. We roll out together, but how you ride is totally up to you: solo, with your riding buddy, or tucked into the group. No pressure, no rules. After the ride, we regroup for a well-earned drink or dinner. If the weather’s on our side, we’ll even pitch camp and make a night of it. What can you expect? Think ±100 km rides with 1500–2000 m of climbing. Prefer something lighter? We’ve always got a shorter option around 70 km. These days are all about adventure, good vibes, and riding wild with friends. Don’t expect classic gravel all the time — our heart beats faster for rough stuff and remote places.  So if you would ask us what are the best bikes for Wildhood rides, than we would suggest that a gravel bike with some beefy tires or a rigid mtb would do the job in most circumstances.

On top of that, we’ve got 3 Community Rides lined up - all organized by Wildhood members in their own backyard. Three for now, but if someone feels inspired and takes the lead, more can (and probably will) pop up. That’s how Wildhood works: it’s shaped by the people in it. Our Wildhood WhatsApp community keeps things rolling between rides. It’s the place to link up with other members, plan a bikepacking trip or overnighter, or crowdsource a fix when your bike starts making weird noises. Ride together, build together, figure it out together.

This year we also included some Partner Rides in our schedule. We’re teaming up with our long-time friends (and Wildhood members) from VENOM Cycleworks. Their rides are always next level and are very much in line with the Wildhood philosophy. We are already looking forward to their Spring and Autumn rides. They’re also hosting monthly Venomous rides, so make sure you follow them on social media.

All of this for just €65. That gets you 4 exclusive rough-stuff Club rides, 3 Community rides, a pair of awesome cycling bottles, and two ByB (Bring Your Buddy) tickets — because every ride is better with friends. You’ll officially be part of the coolest crew around and score a sweet 30% discount at Chimpanzee when ordering through the club.

New this year: you can join individual rides with a guest ticket. But our WhatsApp community and all spontaneous pop-up adventures? Those are members-only.
