The rockets are an MTB club from the Wervik-Ypres region.
The club was founded in March 2002 by a group of friends who had been cycling together for several years and thought it was high time to found a club with a vision of the mountainbiken that differs slightly from the vision of the other clubs.
A tasteful outfit was also chosen, with black as the basic color and decorated with the club's logo, namely Tintin's famous rocket from Hergé's comics.
Since 2022, the name of “De Raketmannen” has been changed to “De Raetten”. The word men made the threshold a little too high for some women to become members of our club. The word "rocket men" was taken from the comics of Kamagurka, which at the time could be read weekly in "Humo". The aim of the club is to unite a group of people, from all walks of life, regardless of their origin, to practice a common passion in known and unknown regions.
In other words, everyone is welcome as long as he or she adheres to our 11 commandments.
Moreover, it is important to achieve this in a recreational way without excessive competitive pressure, so that the friendly aspect is preserved.
All this, always with respect for mother nature.
