Al Wathba Cycle Race Series 3 - Race 1
“Good ride - Easy sign-up online, good reminder. It was the first time that I had been to Al Wathba and first event like this. Some basic information on site would be beneficial. Well organized, although I totally agree with the dangers of the start and finish on a corner.”
“Well organised and enjoyable event - A well organised and enjoyable event. Especially appreciated the SMS notification of timings immediately afterwards. Looking forward to the next in the series.”
“Well organised and enjoyable event - First ever cycling only event in the UAE and a good experience. Thanks to the organizers for putting this on. ”
“Dangerously positioned start/finish line on corner - The positioning of the finish line on a corner was a really dangerous idea. As usual the separation of riders into groups continues to be an issue, no blame to be assigned, I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must be! Maybe time to try a different race format? Or reduce the gaps between groups so the lower groups have less advantage? I'm not sure but it doesn't feel like a fair race at the moment!”
