Hello everyone!

My name is Jack...living and working in Kuwait for four months now.
I am from the US, came here in March and have only trainined on the
stationary bikes available here. I will be in Dubai for 3 days...16-
18 July and if possible would like to rent a decent bike and ride
with some folks if possible. Let me know about any training rides
going on/times & dates/locations and level. I miss my bikes, which I
had to leave in the US, but would like to have a chance to get back
on one while in Dubai...thanks in advance for any help.

Jack
