点评:What you need to know:
- did all 86 km (not the “stick”) and it is basically smooth tarmac and limited height meters (Garmin said approx 190m)
- started around 6:45am and with temperatures of just over 20 degree celsius and limited wind it was no issue.
- much higher or windy and you need to plan for it. Except for the few shades you see on pictures, there is no water etc. on the route
- flat and open route through the desert - unlike anything I have tried in Europe, which is quite an experience, but given it is flat expect no big sand dunes etc.
- groups etc seems to go clockwise so anti-clockwise like I did you are basically on your own
- rented bike at Trek: the standard carbon, which did the job even if my own bikes are higher level. The Trek folks are good and know their stuff, also for larger groups
- the “Last Exit” area is fine: food trucks, rest room, lockers, showers, Trek shop etc - so you are not in the middle of nowhere
- went with Careem back and forth from Dubai Marina. Not the cheapest, but it worked - also getting back to the city
- if really ambitious you can add the stick (22 km each way) and start closer to the city. Bike rentals there also apparently.
- all in all well worth the effort and for a bike entusiast like me a must do
翻译:您需要知道:
- 完成了全部 86 公里(不是“棍棒”),基本上是平坦的柏油路面,高度计有限(Garmin 表示约 190 米)
- 大约在早上 6:45 开始,温度略高于 20 摄氏度,风力有限,所以没有问题。
- 海拔更高或风力更大,您需要为此做好计划。除了您在图片上看到的几处阴凉处外,路线上没有水等。
- 穿过沙漠的平坦开阔路线 - 与我在欧洲尝试过的任何路线都不一样,这是一种相当不错的体验,但考虑到它是平坦的,所以没有大沙丘等。
- 团体等似乎顺时针行驶,所以像我一样逆时针行驶基本上是靠自己了
- 在 Trek 租用自行车:标准碳纤维,即使我自己的自行车级别更高,它也能完成工作。 Trek 的员工都很好,而且很了解他们的东西,也适合大团体
- “最后出口”区域很好:食品卡车、休息室、储物柜、淋浴、Trek 商店等 - 所以你不会身处茫茫荒野
- 从迪拜码头往返使用 Careem。不是最便宜的,但很管用 - 也可以回到城市
- 如果你真的很有野心,你可以加上拐杖(单程 22 公里)并从离城市更近的地方开始。那里显然也有自行车出租。
- 总的来说,非常值得一试,对于像我这样的自行车爱好者来说,这是必须做的事
