Epic rides

Cycling across an entire country is no small feat, especially when that country stretches over 600 kilometers. This ultra endurance ride took us from the Oman Musandam border in the east all the way to the Saudi Arabia (KSA) border in the far west of Abu Dhabi (Al Ghuwaifat). Our goal was to complete this personal challenge in about 20 hours, pushing through the night and day with fast riding and steady determination. The view of the mountains in Ras Al Khaimah just a few met

We set out to explore the possibility of doing an Everesting Roam in the hills and mountains of Fujairah and Sharjah. We startet in Dibba and ended the ride in Kalba, hitting all climbs we could find on the way. After riding for more than 15 hours we only accumulated 5000 meters of elevation. The plan was to avoid the big mountains such as Jais, Yibir and Hafeet but still find enough inclination for a full Roam. We figured that is not very realistic. Nevertheless, the ride in

Cycling enthusiasts often seek new ways to push their limits, and the Everesting challenge has become a popular test of endurance. The goal is simple but brutal: climb the equivalent height of Mount Everest, 8,848 meters, in a single ride by repeating a hill multiple times. Jebel Hafeet, one of the most spectacular mountains on the Arabian Peninsula, offers a perfect setting for this challenge. Known for its steep gradients and scenic views, it has attracted many dedicated cy

Setting out on a long-distance cycling trip through the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries is a challenge that tests both physical endurance and mental strength. Our plan was ambitious: to ride bicycles across six countries—Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait—covering 1600 kilometers in just four days. While the journey did not go exactly as planned, the experience offered valuable lessons about endurance cycling in Arabia, the unpredictable nature of th

Cycling 1000 kilometers in one go is a challenge few dare to take on. At the Meydan cycle track in Dubai, two riders achieved this feat by completing 111 laps in under 31 hours. This extraordinary endurance ride was not just a personal milestone but a charity event supporting the Al Jalila Foundation. Many cyclists joined the ride, pushing their own limits and creating a powerful community spirit. The Challenge of 1000 Kilometers on a Track Riding 1000 kilometers means repeat

Setting out from Al Ain with the goal of reaching Liwa through the desert, we expected a long but rewarding ride. The plan was simple: follow a road that would take us deep into the desert, covering around 300 kilometers. What we did not anticipate was the road ending abruptly after 250 kilometers, forcing us to turn back. Despite not reaching Liwa, the journey revealed an unexpected treasure: the darkest place in the UAE, Al Quaa, perfect for stargazing and spotting the Milk

Cycling nearly 1,000 kilometers through the UAE and Oman is no small feat. The journey from the Al Qudra cycle track in Dubai to Muscat and back covers 985 kilometers, testing endurance, navigation skills, and mental strength. Along the way, a detour to climb Jebel Hafeet adds a challenging mountain ascent to the ride. Spending over 40 hours on the bike without sleep pushes the limits of human stamina, and hallucinations on the return trip highlight just how intense this adve
