Race Wrap Up

What a great day out. 180 kms through Dubai, the desert, the mountains, and along the East Coast mountains. Starting near the newest Dubai mega malls to the finish near the oldest mosque in the Emirates. 180 riders from who knows how many countries. Over 1000 metres of climbing, 80 km/h descents, temperatures of 30 degrees, more than 4000 calories burnt for every rider. This much fun shouldn’t be allowed! Race photos and results to follow (I hope) as they become available.

Watch this space next week for the Mercure challenge Jebel Hafeet duathlon.
