We will be organizing a group ride for beginners on Friday, June 10th at 7am at Wadi Degla. Here is your chance to try mountain biking! Beginners ages 16 and up are welcome. We will be rolling at 7:00am, so plan on arriving at around 6:45. We will be riding on the short corporate loop (13.5km). The terrain will be mostly flat, with a few uphills and downhills in the beginning and the end. The pace will be slow to medium, and we will not leave anyone behind.

In the interest of making it possible for more riders (especially those who do not drive) to get to the trails on weekends to participate in our group rides, we will be giving an MTB Egypt mug or t-shirt (see above photo) to every rider who shares his/her car with a fellow rider for the Friday morning group rides. A few rules, though: 1. You must get there on time: be at the Wadi Entrance a few minutes before 7:00 [...]

It was awesome. Results are posted and here are some pictures for now.

So we probably should have announced this a little earlier, but better late than never. Let’s get it together for a day of mountain bike racing fun on December 5th 2009. What are you waiting for! Head over to the race website for more details! P.S. If you missed the first race, the information is archived here.

The Wadi Degla MTB Challenge website is now live at the race website http://mtbegypt.com/wdmtbc2009/ Click on “Register for the race” if you intend to participate. Please do not register unless you are sure you are going to participate. We need to get an accurate idea of the number of participants to make suitable arrangements. The registration deadline is February 25th. The first volunteer team meeting is this weekend and will be announced very shortly.

Details on course, classes, registration and more are coming very soon! Oh, we need volunteers. Get in touch at mtbegypt AT gmail DOT com
