Dear All,

 

I am very sorry to inform you, that the Wolfi Time Trial event, scheduled for Friday 2 February 2007 is cancelled.

 

I know that many of you have been training specifically for this event and like us, you will be disappointed.  But circumstances beyond our control mean that we have to cancel the event for now.

 

Keep enjoying your riding,

 

Regards

 

A very disappointed

Keep up cycling in another event

 

 

 

Hatta Ride Friday January 26, 2007

 

TIMING: Our goal is to arrive at the Hatta Fort Hotel parking lot by 0645 and start the ride PROMPTLY at 0700.

DIRECTIONS: It takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to drive from Dubai to Hatta. You can find fog on the way so drive carefully and take this into consideration for the timing of the trip. The most direct route is to go east from the Defense Round About (Shaikh Zayed Road and the Dusit Hotel) and follow the signs to Hatta and Oman. You will be on the Emirates Highway  E44 all the way to Hatta. You can also get to E44 from the Ring Road E311. The Hatta Fort Hotel is at the first roundabout on the left as you come to Hatta (you cannot miss it, there is a fort-like structure in the middle of the roundabout).

RIDING DISTANCES: Depending on the number of riders and interests there will be 3 rides to consider: Ride #1 - 70 km (2-3 hours) through the mountains from Hatta Fort towards Kalba to the first tunel and return.  Ride #2 - 90 km (3-4 hours)  Hatta to the top of the second tunnel and return; Ride #3 - 130 km (5-6 hours) Hatta to Kalba and back. Final discussions on routes will be made at the Hatta Fort parking lot at 0655.

PARKING: You will be charged 40 Dhs to get through the gate which will cover showers and the full amount will be deducted from any food or drink that is purchased. See you there. If you are not willing to pay the gate pass, you can park outside the hotel in the empty lots surrounding the roundabout.

MEETING POINT:  As there are several parking areas inside the hotel grounds and some may park outside the hotel, we will meet at 0655 by the Hotel Gate for a quick brief before the ride.

SUPPORT VEHICLES:  Volunteers needed.
