Community Cycling Challenge
“Not much info about weather situation. Would expect "safety first" with rain fall and race should have been delayed... No information about route... is it on the cycle path or on the road?.. Which timing sensor to use? Which category to subscribe? Seems 90 km race will be re-done but 50 km not?... so can we join 90km race now? ”
“Could have been better no volunteer marking the road, no water station etc”
“It's great there is another addition to the race calendar, however, the event was poorly organized. No detail information for the route, there were NO additional portable toilets on site. The Al Quadra Mens bathroom were ALL locked because of no running water on site and no toilet paper. Clearly unhygienic, disgusting unacceptable Dubai Municipality standards. Many cyclists had to use ADNOC next door or other facilities (women) on site. ”
“No Marshall at the race track, most of the riders got lost the way. ”
“There is no organization for the categories, no water stations, there are no clear directions for directions, there are no results for the race, and the participation fees are high compared to the level of organization”
“Total mess. Hardly any communication on race courses. Some women started early with men so not a fair fight. Many athletes got disqualified bcs they didn’t know the route and followed the wrong track. ”
“- non defined route. - abcense of organization . - creation of new category 75k was not a good idea. - yet no official results released unlike the other similar events. ”
“There didn’t seem to much evidence of any organisation”
