“Very difficult race but fully worth it - Track, and event organization are well thought of, few areas of improvement as follow: - Such difficult race deserves a special medal. - sign boards indicating remaining distance in the way up the mountain would be so helpful. - more water stations.”

“Fantastically organised and a great race! - Without doubt the best organised race in the UAE I have participated in. Excellent value for money too...”

“It is really good event with all elements to be GR - Nothing to complain, except, maybe a date. This event would be much more attractive if it does not happen on the same day as any UAE race, what was case this time. On other hand, that was really advantage, as the crowd was not too big, and we could really enjoy the scene, and nature. The climb is demanding, and is not for unprepared cyclists, as mountain will squeeze all the energy from you. Excellent event for a bargain price with bright future. Big thanks organisers!”

“Great no fuss organisation - No V60 Category!”

“Great - Closed roads, well marshalled and good spread of support stations”
