Roads were closed across Dubai Friday morning as the UAE’s biggest community cycling event took hold of the city.
The Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge welcomes a range of cyclists from juniors to professionals, with thousands taking to the UAE streets to take part.
For serious competitors, the 92km route is the pinnacle of the event, a demanding course that takes on Dubai’s roads.
And after the success of the build-up races to this year’s event, the ‘big one’ saw huge numbers sign up to take part.
In celebration of the day, we have rounded up some of the best social media posts from organisers and participants on the day.

I can't tell you how ecstatic I am to be awake, freezing and wearing Lycra at 4am. Because I'm not. @SpinneysDubai92
