DUBAI: Emirates and UAE Team Emirates today helped cyclists ride high during the first day of the Dubai Fitness Challenge. Cycling enthusiasts tested their skills and casually rode with UAE Team Emirates at Al Qudra cycling track, starting at Last Exit and making their way to a sprint finish at Al Qudra Lakes and beyond.
The event included Emirates Group employees, families, as well as dedicated and recreational cyclists who had the chance to meet the UAE’s professional cycling team currently competing in the UCI World Tour.
