Скачать или смотреть UAE ROAD CYCLING - AL QUDRA CYCLING TRACK FROM BOTS

When it comes to road cycling, and indeed off-road cycling the UAE 🇦🇪 is a different beast, compared to what most people will be used to,

Even the briefest of searches or enquiries will no doubt return the Al Quadra Cycling Track. If you are new to Dubai this video will hopefully help get you over the first ride hump and out and about pedalling.
