The Event That’s Bringing the UAE Biking Community Together
This weekend marks the first-ever Adventure Rally in Showka, Ras Al Khaimah, organised by George from Get Out There UAE. If you’re in the UAE’s off-road biking community, you’ve probably already heard the buzz surrounding this event—and for good reason. What makes this rally special isn’t just the focus on the adventure (ADV) bikes, but the fact that it's pulling together riders from every corner of the biking world. Whether you’re competing, spectating, or just there to support, this is the kind of event that has the potential to become a cornerstone for the community.
Why This Event Matters
The adventure biking community in the UAE has been growing steadily, but it’s rare to see an event that puts this particular group at center stage. While the off-road and enduro scene has been thriving, this is an opportunity for ADV riders to come together, show their skills, and push their limits across the rugged terrain of Showka. What’s even more remarkable is how this rally is attracting riders of all types, not just those with adventure bikes. It’s a testament to the camaraderie and shared passion that unite all bikers in this region.
Camping Under the Stars and Riding at Dawn
I’ll be heading out there Friday night with my crew, ready to camp out and get an early start on Saturday morning. We’ll be riding our enduro bikes—unregistered, of course—bouncing around the checkpoints, supporting the riders, and catching the best action on the course. For us, it’s about more than just watching; it’s about immersing ourselves in the event and connecting with the energy of the community. Enduro bikes might not be the stars of this rally, but we’ll be tearing up the terrain alongside the action, adding a bit of our own flavor to the day.
A Show of Support for George and the Scene
George and I go way back, and it’s been incredible to watch how he’s grown Get Out There UAE into a key player in the adventure space. This event is a huge milestone, not just for him but for the entire UAE off-road biking scene. Being able to support George and help spread the word about this rally feels like a natural extension of our shared passion for growing this community. If you're not already involved, now’s the time to jump in—whether it’s riding in the rally or just showing up to watch the action and meet like-minded people or keeping track on my blog.
The Bigger Picture: A Community United by Adventure
What stands out about this rally is the sheer diversity of riders it’s attracting. It’s not just about ADV bikes; it’s about bringing together anyone with a passion for two wheels and adventure. Whether you ride a sports bike, an enduro, or a fully kitted-out ADV machine, this event is for you. And for those of us who just can’t resist getting some personal enduro riding in while we’re there, it’s an opportunity to enjoy some time in the saddle with friends while being part of something bigger.
