You can bring your Blade. Every Friday there is a bunch of guys riding, and if they arent riding on a Friday, they are on Losail.

Summers do get hot to ride, but its still rideable. Sand is always a concern, but not a big issue. Mostly in rounabouts is where you got to be careful of sand. Thats normal, same as what you watch out for oil and other debris.

The guys here have there own social group, with bike nights, chat group and recently added a website as well "qatarkneedraggers.com"

If you are into offroad there is always the Friday morning dessert run with offroad bikes.

Enjoy
