“Awesome idea, hopefully lead to more events - Good briefing at the beginning, the whistle for speed control worked well.An organised slower group especially for the last lap, when those that may need that support,will most likely need it.Thanks to the backup teams on the road,especially Ride who assisted with my snapped chain on the last lap.Not sure if he had a chain tool as he used mine,but fixed issue;might be worth checking what equipment if any carried. The only question is when to do the Mosque and return leg, perhaps do it first?”

“Great event with saddle time passing quickly - A great well organised event ....only a few minor issues with the protocol of how to change the rider at the front of the peloton at the start and when but this got smoother as the km's passed by. I met some great people and the time went by surprisingly quickly. The breakfast laid on was great...it would have been nice to have had a cereal option also but this is not a criticism at all on what was provided. Well done Andy...”

“Very enjoyable night. - Great event, Andy. Would suggest separating groups at the beginning. Shame there were not more slower riders. Would be happy to lead a slower group next time. We can't all charge around at 30+km!!! Great to have a support car and breakfast was surprisingly good. Looking forward to the next one!”

“Awesome - Great concept. It beats sitting at Stonehenge with a bunch of modern day hippy druids waiting for the sun to come up.”

“Excellent sweaty night with bi people in lycra. - Great way to ramp up training miles in the summer. Thanks to all fellow cyclists for staying awake and alert for over five hours. No dramas or dodgy riding EXCEPT the farmer's SNOT.. Please DO NOT EVER EVER do the farmer's snot thing UNLESS you are at the back of the peleton...anything else is bad riding etiquette.”

“Great event - not for beginners. - 50km loops three times on Dubai Cycle Path. This is a serious cycling group. They're pretty particular about how to cycle in groups, changes at the front and the speed to go. It's FAST! I could keep up for the first loop and half of the second and then I was pretty much on my own. Riding throughout the night is an interesting concept and I'd try it again. The Saris giveaways were goood (how about a dri-fit top, though?) and the breakfast was excellent. Thanks and see you again soon, inshallah.”

“Great concept, great ride! - A really novel idea of riding through the night, just for the fun of it! Really well supported and organised, especially when you consider the ungodly hours! Really enjoyable event and the breakfast was a great sociable way to close the event. Only minor glitch with premieronline, not processing online credit.”
