The Bike Abu Dhabi Festival is bringing a Gran Fondo to the Emirate!
Starting in the capital city of Abu Dhabi and going all the way to the Garden City of Al Ain, the very first
Bike Abu Dhabi Gran Fondo is a challenging 150km race for our avid cycling community.
With a total prize pool of AED 2,000,000 this Gran Fondo is the highlight of the cycling season.
Participants will be split into different groups. The first group is dedicated to elite men and women (UAE
