The date for the 2013 Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge will be on December 13th with over 2,000 amateur cyclists expected at the annual challenge around the iconic streets of Dubai.
Part of “Dubai Pulse,” the Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge is the largest amateur cycling challenge in the Middle East, doubling in size each year.
Started in 2010 with the support of the Dubai Sports Council (DSC), the challenge promotes fitness for all in Dubai and now attracts cyclists of all abilities from all over the world keen to test themselves over 92km around the famous local landmarks.
“The success and growth of the challenge in Dubai is due to the support of Spinneys, Dubai 92 and the sports council all promoting health and fitness amongst the community of Dubai,” stated Stewart Howison, race director.
Dr Ahmad Sa’ad Al Sharif, DSC General Secretary commented: “This challenge reflects the increase in popularity of cycling in the city and the support of the authorities that has seen over 100km of dedicated cycling tracks being built around the city. The challenge receives the full support of the Dubai Police and the RTA.”
Preparations for the challenge start in September with the running of build up rides to test the cyclists over increasing distances leading up to the challenge. Dates for these have already been approved with the first build up ride taking place early this month.
