AL WATHBA CYCLING SERIES – RACE 1
Monday, 5th October
The Al Wathba Cycling Series will include 6 events (on Mondays) from October 2015 to January 2016 and take the form of the Australian Pursuit Series.
Small groups of riders are set off at short intervals with the intention each group seeks to chase down the group in front and all groups come together at the finish for the strongest rider to win.
This is an excellent event series for novice riders who are either recreational riders and/or not used to group riding techniques.
