I hear you, but according to him they have quite the triathlon / road scene with all the expats. The government knows this and spent millions of durams(spelling???) on infrastructure(the dedicated cycling road I mentioned). They really get looked after

There's a fledgling MTB community who regularly travel to the west into the mountains about 2 hrs away and there are some real raw trails out that way...really rocky and untouched. Floodlight riding at the Abu Dhabi F1 GP circuit (Yas Marina) on Tues nights.

That makes me happy! Also it is an excuse to get a fatbike...

Capediver has it correct - the place where most of the MTB action takes place is called Showka (check it out on Strava, plenty of routes). Raw trails is also correct - the trails themselves are abundant and easy to follow, but don't fall off!! Sore!

 

There are also paths around Dubai, in the powerline alleys, as riding on most roads is pretty dangerous, although there are organised road rides where safety in numbers assists (also on quiet Fridays).

 

Night riding on the race track in Dubai, and also the Al Qudra loop that everyone seems to know about (where they have free hot showers in a nice clean change room)..

 

But - not much in summer (unless very early) - it really is just too hot

One of the top mileage guys on thehubsa strava group is in Dubai. Rocked a massive 300km ride last Thursday. Rather impressive, and it was done in a group of about 12 of them!

Hi Guys,

 

A friend who is currently working over in Dubai has let me know that they are looking for retail sales staff.

 

It is an extremely fast passed environment and probably one of the busiest bike shops in the world as they sold 31 bikes yesterday and these are not your average cheapies.

 

PM me for more details.
