100 Kilometer Challenge Abu Dhabi City Folding Bike Ride at Night

March 05 (Thu 1930H) to 06 (Fri 0300H), 2020 in Abu Dhabi City, United Arab Emirates

Another Longest ride bucket list... from longest train ride from Moscow to Vladivostok (Tran-Siberia) in Russia (Aug. 2017) to longest plane ride from Abu Dhabi, UAE to Los Angeles, US (Jul. 2019) to longest folding bike ride at 100 kilometer distance in Abu Dhabi, UAE (Mar. 2020). The longest bike rides I had before this event was around 40km morning ride to Jubail Mangrove Park, Abu Dhabi (Feb. 2020)  and more than 50km afternoon mountain bike ride in Easter Island, Chile (Jan. 2020) for the stunning beauty of coastline and the mysterious Moais.

The 100 kilometer challenge is an initiated biking fun adventure of Abu Dhabi Folding Bikes Group where I joined only last January 2020. This trip served as my 6th ride with them and honored to be invited, as the 100km challenge will not be a success without their push, support and determination to let us Challengers achieved also what they already accomplished.

I started the cycling monitor on run keeper app in Hamdan Street where I live, going to ADIA Corniche as the group meeting point. At 1930H we started our ride out going to Flagpole then to UAE Presidential Palace (Qasr Al Watan), continued to Al Bateen. We had our 30min breaktime in ADNOC gas station before the ADNEC building passing the Zayed Sports City. We reached the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque at 2300H with around 60km mark and had our Challenger's photo. Then went back to city via Shiek Zayed Road and with our last destination Al Reem Island before our midnight snacks and ride home.
