Pedal fast&shout ‘Woohoohoo, what a Friday!"
Woohoo, what a Friday this was!
I’m an early riser. I was lazing around the house thinking what to do with the holiday when my son (him again) told me about this cycling competition in Losail. I thought it’d be fun and went there, camera in hand.
It was a blast, totally. More than a hundred people turned up for the competition and it was all done in good cheer. I also met this Argentinian guy who’s travelled like 71,000 kilometers around the globe, ON HIS BICYCLE.
I didn’t get his picture, and I can’t stop kicking myself. It was a fun event. I just wish they’d publicise this a bit more so that people actually get to participate more in it…
Well, you gotta live it coz you gotta live it. No complaints whatsoever. After all, today WAS an exhilarating Friday for me. It was so much fun watching people around me having fun. How I wish I was 18 again so that I could pedal myself and keep pace with those people…
Well…
Eeeeeeeeh Yakka-Boo, Eeeeeeeeh Yakka-Boo
I want to ride too..
I think the cycling community is a mixed bag of mainly expats. The more the merrier, so try to join in next time!Hopefully, if the Cycling Federation sees how much interest there is, they'll start ADVERTISING events a little better and even organising more regular get-togethers!
i was so surprised to hear that. there was an event for cycling on last friday. I wish I could go there. Do you have any idea the bicycle community in qatar is ?
The next cycling event will be the Bill Brown Ride... a road cycling event that will begin at the Doha Golf Club on Friday, April 10th, at 8:00 am (sign-in at 7:30am) with a loop ride to either Lusail (26km), Simaisima (46 km) or Al Khor (68 km). Lunch for all participants will follow at the Golf Club at 11:00am.
Further information including online registration can be found at: www.qatar.cmu.edu/billbrownride.
Cheers!
Would have loved to have taken part in this event... didn't know about it though!!!! Maybe better advertising next time???? Can't QL have a 'what's on this month???' section?
been looking for cycling events for quite a while.... obviously looking in the wrong places!
That was really a great idea to do cycling at the special weekend..
Cycling is the use of bicycles, as a means of transport, a form of recreation or a sport. It is done on roads and paths, across open country or even over snow and ice (icebiking).

First thanks goes to whoever it was who made the pictures all right. I am new to photobucket and i just couldn't figure out what was wrong with the pictures...
Rizks and Vegas, thank you for your commnets. bot of you are really kind. It definitely was a fun event.
Krok... I just wish it was so easy.
Greeker...I wish that they publicised this better too. It would bring in so many more people.
how i wish these events were publicised a bit more... then more people could join in.
But I admit it's a great initiative for the people. Now they just need to think about marketing it better. From the number of people, I can see that there is a lot of enthusiasm up for it.
Come on, Wanderer!!! You took so many great pics yet you didnt notice that the majority of cyclists were over 18?!
There's nothing wrong with your legs, buddy - just get yourself a bicycle and join the fun!
You can't teach experience...
Woow wat a great event it is ... like the last bike ..
