Dubai: The weather may be turbulent in Dubai on Friday, but that’s not going to stop sports enthusiasts from taking part in one of the most popular events on the calendar.

Residents in Dubai can expect a number of road closures on December 15 for the Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge, which kicks off at 6am.

The roads will be cordoned off by Dubai Police and access will be intermittent, according to organisers.

However, roads will be open to traffic once the cyclists make their way through.

The cycle challenge includes two distances – 53km and 92km – and participants have been advised to cycle at an average speed of 26km per hour and above in order to make the cut off points, and be able to complete the 92km route.

Please check which roads may affect you, and allow extra time for your journey.
