Dubai: Five hundred cyclists are expected to take part in the Spinneys Dubai 92 35km build-up ride, that will take place at the District One Cycle Track in Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City, this Friday at 6am.
There will be four build-up rides in preparation for the biggest cycling event of the year. The first build-up ride will be 35km, followed by a 45km, 65km and an 85km ride.
The race will see the participation of Spinneys Dubai’s CEO, Jannie Holtzhausen, and 24 Spinneys staff members.
Holtzhausen, 67, said, “We are thrilled to be one of the main partners for the Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge for yet another year. I am personally looking forward to riding amongst an array of new faces over the next few months, as well as riding with my Spinneys team.”
The locally-owned supermarket chain will be on-hand to help keep cyclists fuelled with food trucks, smoothies and water refill stations at the build-up rides and the final challenge.
The final race will take place on Friday, December 16.
“Health and wellness are becoming such a big part of everything Spinneys does. We truly want to inspire our staff and recognise their input by encouraging them to get involved in challenges such as the Dubai 92.”
Registration for the cycling event has now closed, but supporters can head to the District One Cycle Track to cheer on the riders.
