4. The cutest racers took part

All ages are welcome and this year saw riders as young as two years old took part in a Mini Challenge – a balance bike course helping kids to find their balance on a bike.

3. 2,000 cyclists hit the streets of Dubai

This includes over 230 who travelled from outside of the UAE to take part. Nine years on and this well organised event continues to draw all level cyclists from all over.

Competitors could take part in the UCI Gran Fondo, the Spinneys Dubai 92km Cycle Challenge, the Oakley 53km Challenge or a junior challenge.

2. The UCI Gran Fondo World Series was a huge success

Highly talented riders take part in the UCI Granfondo World Series across the world – there are 21 qualifier events in total, with winners being awarded the coveted rainbow jersey. Not a race to be sniffed at, riders are just short of the pro mark but show up for a competitive race.

1. The Cycling Village was hopping

Spectators had a comfortable place to catch the race, riders had a spot to chill post-race where Spinneys had set up a feed of pancakes, burgers and more to feed the masses.
