After enduring Dukhan's hill climbs, we are heading back to a flat terrain racing in Al Ghuwayriyah. A popular venue for a road cycling race, this village offers another view of Qatar. Despite the almost flat feature, the 18km triangular loop opens up possibilities for attacking riders to get away and riders to get exposed to all the winds (head, tail & cross wind) that road cycling races have to offer.
We are heading back to the western side of Qatar for the Dukhan Climbers Classic Road Race. As the event name suggests, this event will challenge your legs to a hilly road race with a KOM-style hilltop finish. Join us on Friday morning of February 3, 2023, and let us see some elevation gains on your Strava.
QCF is pleased to bring you the first classic road race of 2023. This race will take us back to one of the crowd's favorite routes, The Al Thakira road race course, famous for its lovely mixture of fast new tarmac and scenic old back roads, with challenges of some draggy ramps and an 'Uphill' finish.
This is a "Bunch" race, not a group ride, and you should have confidence riding in a group before taking part in this race.
