Beyond are partnering up with WaterAid.

Water is the key to life – on and off the bike.

From the very beginning of Beyond we wanted it to be more than a cycling race. We wanted to set standards reaching out of the cycling community and you may have wondered "what's with that kid in our promotion video". Well, there's a now and then for everything.

After a long journey we are excited to partner up with WaterAid who vision a world where everyone, everywhere has safe and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene.

For us this partnership is only the beginning and we hope that you will join our journey and support our effort in making a change.

New date

Dear participants and followers
Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances have forced us to postpone Beyond 2024. We are very sorry for that.

Meet one of our valued partners

Open Cycle

When leaving their executive jobs in major cycling brands more than ten years ago Gerard Vroomen and Andy Kessler wanted to do something totally different within the cycling industry.

They had the idea to create the bike that sets us free and let us go wherever we want to not limited by fragile and narrow tires. Gerard coming from the road. Andy from MTB. They also at the same time wanted to stay true to the quality and value of their product and not be driven by breezy marketing and marginal gains. They succeeded in a scale they had probably not foreseen with the versatile Open U.P. which combined the best of both worlds by giving the choice of choosing different wheel sizes and tires widths on a “road bike”.

Our partnership with Open is therefore a perfect match for Beyond as their uncompromised vision matches the way we also see things.
Create with passion and both product and passion will last.

Fried rice with bulgogi sauce.

Here's one of Hannahs personal favourites In our small series of tasty cycling friendly recipes.

–

This dish is nothing short of genius. Made from cooked leftover rice, it also works brilliantly for a recovery meal or lunch.
You can use whatever vegetables you have in the fridge. Below is an example of what it might look like.

GF, DF, V

Easy
2-4 people
10-15 minutes

Bulgogi sauce

50 ml soy sauce
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp. maple syrup
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. grated ginger
1 clove of grated garlic

Fried rice

400 g cooked rice
3 eggs
2 red onions
250 g of broccoli
200 g edamame beans
2 tbsp. olive oil
Salt


1. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and set aside.
2. Finely chop the vegetables.
3. Heat a pan with olive oil and fry the rice until it is completely hot and delicious.
4. First add the onion and fry it for a minute at medium-high heat. Add the rest of the vegetables and cook until all the vegetables are tender.
5. Season to taste with salt.
6. Make a hole in the middle of the rice and pour 1 tbsp. oil on the pan. Crack the eggs into the hole and make scrambled eggs until it is approx. 80% complete. Then stir it all around so that the eggs are well mixed.
7. Season with salt and serve topped with bulgogi sauce.


TIP: Always cook plenty of rice when you cook rice and freeze it in portions for when you need to cook quickly.
You can use all kinds of vegetables. The coarser they are, the finer you have to slice them.
You can also use fresh coriander or mint in the dish.

We still have a few spots left for our Strade Bianche gravel ride together with Rapha on Saturday.

Get your ticket now – or there will just be more Tiramisu left for the other riders when we are back at RCC 😀

We work hard to make the first edition of Beyond a day to remember. But we couldn't do this without our highly valued partners

Rapha

We are proud having Rapha as a official partner for Beyond. They have been and still are the benchmark for the cycling apparel industry and have lead the way for a wide range of cycling brands who supply cyclists around the world.

Without Rapha changing the way we perceive cycling nearly 20 years ago Beyond would probably not have been.

When we drew the first lines for Beyond we decided that we wanted to team up with brands who are making a difference. A difference for the world or a difference for cycling. Brands who are willing to walk the extra mile in an uncompromised effort and belief of their ideas or products.

Rapha is one of them.
