“Very well marshalled and supported. - Well organised, and nice to part of a mass event for a worthy cause. Marshalling of the course with cars and bikes was brilliant, one of the few rides around Dubai which has felt safe. Most riders were well behaved in the packs too, makes a big difference. Thanks to the supporters at the Camel Track as well!”

“Please do it again. - Went to Wolfi's to pick up the shirt but they had run out. Would have liked to have been wearing the same shirt as everyone else. Would still like to buy one as a reminder of the event. I am not sue what the 'timing and results' service is all about.”

“Very enjoyable and satisfying event!! - Probably best to have group no and speed indicated on the Leader or Captain of the group attached to his shirt. Or if it will allow, maybe two captain per group is best to cover both front and tail of the group. This will help specially when we reached the NAS and get a small break for food. Once they see that their group no is already on the line ready to set to come back to Atlantis, they will not be left behind (or ahead) by their original group. Only my two cents.. :)”

“Awesome day for an awesome cause - Thank you for putting on such a well organized race. The ushers, support riders, support cars, refreshment stations were all very well managed. We are very grateful for your organization for such a worth cause and are already looking forward to the next one”

“Return support - I just felt that the support should have been increased on the return ride with the roads becoming busier and drivers not knowing what to do. It seemed we were left to our own devices a bit... This caused me to have a little fall - I was fine but it could have been avoided.... Over all a great day and ride!!!”

“The event was fantastic. - This was a charity event. It raised a fair amount of money for the family of a man we all knew and loved. Enough said.”

“ nice event for great man - I didn't meet Roy but everybody is saying great things about him and no surprise that so many people gathered for this ride. It was a very nice to be part of it. I will remember it for sure.”

“An inspirational event for a worthy cause - It was an honor to take part in such a worthy cause with so many riders. The event was well organized and allowed for riders of mixed abilities. A particular mention should go to all the Marshals, support riders and drivers who did an excellent job and without whom the event would not have been possible.”

“Great Experience. Team spirit & Good Purpose - 1st Ride for me in Dubai. Did not expect such a great organized ride - good job! Because it was not a race - just a ride with extras - it was a really enjoyable tour containing some newcomer challanges and allowing to do what is normally not possible in Dubai ... Look to the city from the bike!”

“Flyer at Trek - This was a great event. It exceeded my expectations. I had a lot of fun, and it felt a lot safer than Spinneys 92 (the only other bike event I've participated in) The only reason my "timing and results" service is low is because I didn't think it was timed.”

“Fantastic; very well done - Perfect organisation and a fitting tribute.”

“Great event for a worthy cause. Well organised - Very well organized for a very worthy cause. Hopefully the message got across! Three sections rated 100% but were N/A. Didn't get the shirt as registered too late! Will most definitely support the event again.”

“A magnificent way of remembering a wonderful man. - My friends and I enjoyed immensely the whole occasion and would like to see the Ride for Roy become an annual event!”

“Great day!!! Amazing cause!!! - Fantastic event....great participation!”

“Apologies - I had a hernia - Was looking forward to participating but couldn't due to injury. Well done to all those who organised it and turned out in support.”

“Great ride for a fantastic cause - The only minor gripe/complaint that I have is that the event giveaway (the cycling top) were not distributed on a first come first serve basis as advertised. When I went to collect my top on 2 March - I was told by the staff at Wolfie's Bike Shop that the only tops that were left were those that they had reserved for customers. Given the nature of the event, I was a little disappointed that Wolfie's had decided to allow their cutsomers to call ahead to reserve tops at the expense of others.”

“Great event, well organized - What an enjoyable and safe ride.”

“Great Event in memory of Roy - It was an amazing event and I think we should do this every year in Roy's memory.”

“Great morning - Really enjoyable event, amazing to see the support for Roy. I hope it can become an annual event.”

“Well organized, safe ride - Great ride to do with non cyclists. Really safe ride and fun”

“A fitting tribute for Roy - Such a great turnout and a really enjoyable ride. Great route and well organised. Good refreshments at the cycle track. Only wish there had been a way to get everyone together at the end, the finish felt a little flat. ”

“Perfect is the only word for the event!! - Loved the arrangement by the enbt organisers. it was flawless end to end with utmost importance to the safety of all riders and health care. Kudos to all of the organisers and volunteers who made the event a big success.”

“Great organization! - Everything was perfect, pace was good, a beautiful day on the roads of Dubai for cyclists!”

“A really enjoyable ride. - Excellent, a really enjoyable ride.”

“Great event to honour a great athlete - Fantastic atmosphere. Great start organisation. Loved having the bikers as escorts. Masses of food and drink at the halfway stop. Great shirt. Even the downside of having to stop at so may traffic lights on the Beach Road had its positives - good practice clipping in and out for those of us that don't normally ride on roads or in groups!”

“A great event to and for a great cause - It is unfortunate we have to have a remeberance ride for Roy, but this is a fitting event. Great participation and a way to pay tribute. I do hope this is an annual event.”

“First outing in 17 years - Fantastic organization and day overall.”

“Excellent morning - It was the best event that I have participated in. I will continue to cycle - I love it! It was a shame I didn't receive a fest as memory but I understand that there were not enough to go around ”

“Well organized charity event - Congratulations to all organizers and volunteers for a well organized charity event! It was nice to see everyone wearing the same jersey for the event. Thank you for that as well.”

“Great Event - I thought the ride for Roy was a great event, well organised, the turn out was 1, 200 i believe. The ride for Roy cycling shirts where given to the first 1,000 people, I was in the 900s entry number, but was told there was no shirts left. It was just a shame really, i missed out, for the 300 dirhams, but i am glad it will go to his wife. Hopefully next year , I can obtain a Ride for Roy shirt. Thank you Vincent”

“Nice Ride - Rode in great spirits - Big thanks to the organizers & assistants - much appreciated. ”

“Good event for a good cause - Add an extra pace category as some people were clearly keen to go quicker. Also, no reminder for the silence across the bridge so not observed in the group I rode in.”

“Excellent event - The event did what it was meant to in that it celebrated the life of Roy Nasr through a medium in cycling he loved. A well organised and fun event through some iconic parts of Dubai.”

“Memorable experience - Such a thrilling ride in memory of someone who impacted all those people's lives one way or another. Thank you to TriDubai for organising, to the sponsors for financing and to the marshalls/escort vehicles who made the ride safe. You guys are all awesome and should be proud. The morning went smoothly and it would be a great initiative to repeat it yearly (without iPods which are super dangerous in group rides!). Thanks again to all involved and participated, you put on an amazing event!”

“Amazing day, proud to have taken part - What an incredible day! It was wonderful to be part of such a fitting tribute to Roy. Really well organized and such a great atmosphere. Absolutely fantastic! Hope it becomes an annual event . ”

“Well Organised - The race was really well organised. the marshalling was great. A little scary when I was on my own in between the group I left with and the one behind me, but, overall I was really happy and felt safe most of the time! A really nice route, great turnout and enjoyable bike ride for a good cause”

“Good ride and good cause. - Okay I did not get a jersey, but dissapointing that I called the shop and was told to pick up a jersey same day. Then had run out when I arrived 2 hours later. Happy not to receive jersey, but annoyed I had to go to Wulfis.”

“Grand Ride - Such an amazing effort and respectful crowd, way to go”

“A wonderful tribute - Thanks to all who volunteered and give up time to organize this event. Fantastic marshaling on the day. It was great to see your smiling faces. The guys on the bikes were brilliant ”

“Great Event - This was a great event. ”

“Great Event, Great Day!! - Thanks you very much!!!”

“Brilliant - Ride organiser said Roy would have loved this event. It's true, he would have. I wish he was there, I miss him and his support. Fantastic organisation and support from everybody - very much appreciated. I loved the motorbike marshalling, lead cyclists & marshals were great, mid-way break point was just right, and cycling camaraderie excellent. Like many, I'm not used to big city cycling, traffic, stop/starting with so many traffic lights but great opportunity to make a statement. I felt safe”

“Excellently organised, great atmosphere - Excellent organisation. The pre-start briefing was very succinct, informative and articulate - very clear instructions to the field. The use of motorbike 'outriders' was excellent - a great innovation and huge improvement on the debacle that was the Spinneys 92 Challenge - good support vehicles also. So felt better 'protected' on the busy roads. Please transfer these learnings and best practices to other events”

“A fitting tribute - Great event.. the atmosphere and otganisation all fantastic”

“Best event ever !! - It was a worthy event for a great human being that Roy was. huge turnout, enjoyoable day and the organization was the best I have ever seen in any race. a truly inspiring day all around! thank you team TriDubai and all other who made this day possible.”

“Told that I won. Excellent! - What a great idea. Beautifully executed. Well done Ian Le Pelley and all of TriDubai. Roy is looking down from an eternal podium with a smile.”

“Fab! Lovely that it was so well supported :) - Some groups went really fast! Difficult to know what speed each group was supposed to be at the start. Other than that, really great. ”

“Great event - great atmosphere - great cause. - Praise to the organisers and all volunteers - fabulous support and a wonderful atmosphere - thank you.”

“It was a great event for a great cause. - This was my first event not volunteering, and it was wonderful to take part.

“Great & moving day, privilege to have taken part - It's the first time I've done one of these events & I must admit I was a little daunted the night & morning before in case I made a fool of myself, but there was no worries as all the riders were split up into their own capabilities & I thoroughly enjoyed my ride with my fellow 20kmh cyclists & the presence of the Harley rider blasting out sounds on the stereo & his excellent traffic control for us. Great course & a great event. We'll done to all who arranged it!!!”

“Great ride, great cause - Very well organised, a tribute to Roy”
