Hi all, I've completed the recce of my new ultra race that I am organising. Certainly a growing gravel cycling community here in Saudi... And with good reason, it is stunning with some incredible mountains. Any big ultra riders will know why I called my race Arabia Divide!
Hi all, wanted to reach out and share for a race I am working on. It is a unsupported ultracycling event in March 2027 through the Aseer Mountains, Saudi Arabia.
It is the first of its kind in the Middle East - https://www.arabiadivide.cc/.
Before you ask... yes there are proper mountains in Saudi!! (Check out the photos on the webpage) And the mountain's temperature is prodimently cooler than the rest of the country, so March is the perfect time to race at around 20-24 degrees during the day. Winter would actually be much too cold.
Feel free to message me if any questions.
