That bike lane look awesome !

Just over 180km of dedicated cycle track in Dubai. Very lucky. But a few drawbacks. Riding on public roads very dangerous and mostly illegal, so it’s the same tracks day in day out, it’s FLAT here, and I mean FLAT! The car racing circuits are open on Wednesday nights for cycling so that’s cool as well. I’m not complaining though.

Went for an early morning hike in HB

 

Then I went for a "hike" in my wetsuit to Sandy Bay

 

We went for a little Greenbelter on the MTB's. First time on a mountain bike in maybe 6 months.

 

My overriding impression of the whole day was an ASTOUNDING amount of dog poo everywhere. Really incredibly disgusting.

 That bit from the car park up the hill going to sandy bay must be the worst around. The side of the road and the pavement is paved in ****.

There and pretty much the whole of the Constantia greenbelt. I checked under my shoes multiple times. Disgusting doesn't even begin to cover it.

Anywhere within a 100 metres from a car park where people walk their dogs is always disgusting.

I met a guy from Dubai in Italy a few years back. About 30min into climbing Stelvio, he said that we have just done more climbing in that 30mins of riding than he did the entire previous year in Dubai.

There seems to be a cosmic link between dogs anuses and their owners ability to see. Dog gets exited. Dog takes a dump. This isn't exactly unprecedented behavior. And yet.....

 

There's a little 60m path between baviaanskloof road and military road in HB. The amount of dog poo there is unbelievable. And there's a little bin with poo bags right there.

He’s be correct! But we do have wind to contend with at times and that can be brutal. We’ve got one proper climb here, JebelJais, it’s well over 1400m of climbing, but about 90min outside Dubai. The rest is a pancake.
