Hi Guys from down south! We did a 100 yesterday out from Abu Dhabi and return - the wind, like you said, was wicked! Anyhow, money in the bank as they say!! What do you think about numbers etc. I did the races last year and got kicked - all three of us expats did - all we ddi was try to chase down breaks etc and although it was good cardio training, we need around 8 regulars to take on the likes of Al Nasr!!
Good training!

As an "intermediate" cycler (that's stretching it maybe) the pace / wind / heart rate proved a bit too much...I was left behind to complete the last 40 km solo....a real character builder, depleting my potassium reserves and encountering severe cramps in the process. But never fear we'll continue to push forward and hope for an occassional break in the Dubai winds that always seem to blow in the wrong direction.Ride on....Richard

just after the garage stop to Safa Park bridge I
clocked 37.5km at an average of 42.5km/h. A few more
months of this sort of training and we'll be
cruising..
