The past two weeks have been great for cycling in Dubai. On the 2 October 2015 we had build-up ride 2 for the Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge and apart from a few technical challenges at the start this was a great event, with good weather and taking in some stretches of the new track this all resulted in a great time for me for the 45km.
The weather is finally turning in Dubai with a few typical foggy October mornings, some high humidity days and some lower temperatures overall. Maybe I will need to find some arm warmers soon…..
On Friday 9 October 2015 a few of us rode the 85km stick+loop+stick at Al Qudra which was great fun, a little chilly at the start and then again as we went into the fog at Strava segment ‘bedouin’s hill’. On Saturday it was a more leisurely 60km.
I’m managing to keep to my weekly riding target of 250km and the best thing is that the weight is now falling away but the downside is that the cyclist tan lines are well and truly back on my arms and legs.
The weather is looking good and we should now have 6 months of good riding weather ahead of us. Has anyone tried Cycling up and back down Jebel Hafeet? Is it any good? Is it safe? Please let me know.
