This is an open cycling race like no other. A first of its kind designed to test the fitness, endurance and speed of cyclists on the Aba to Umuahia section of the Enugu-Portharcourt Expressway Way. The road is flat with no category climbs and promises to be a sprinters paradise. Just imagine the peloton setting off from Aba speeding through communities of Isiala Ngwa exploring the beauty of Abia State on their way through the Abia Tower into Umuahia town, roads closed and bringing everything and everyone in its wake to a stand still. Quite a sight. And that is the promise of the Aba-Umuahia cycle race
