It’s been a very successful journey for the Spinneys Dubai 92 Challenge, powered by ŠKODA as cyclists took on the last Build-Up Ride (85km) at Al Qudra this morning as part of the popular Dubai Fitness Challenge and it’s just four weeks until cyclists compete in the ultimate final 100km race, part of the UCI Gran Fondo Series, which will be held at the Dubai Autodrome on Friday, 29th November.

This morning’s ride witnessed the highest number of participant’s taking on the final Build-Up Ride with many cyclists commenting that the challenge has helped with their fitness as well as their confidence on the bike.

All cyclists, families and spectators were delighted to find the Spinneys Village filled with fun activities hosted by SKODA and Fitness First, with something fun for everyone! Spinneys Dubai, as always, provided a number of breakfast options which ranged from chicken and beef rolls to falafel wraps to smoothies and scrumptious healthy treats. There was also plenty of water and sports drinks for the cyclists to refresh themselves and hydrate after the 85km race.

ŠKODA, the Automotive Race Partner launched its ‘Golden Key’ competition this morning, whereby some cyclists found a Golden Key in their race pack and are now automatically entered in a competition to win a ŠKODA car for a year. There’s still time to be a winner, more keys will be given at the main event on 29th November with the winner being announced on the same day.  Time to sign up so you can be in with a chance of winning this great prize!
