Hi @Srikumar - I thought I managed to add my name to the drive but appears not as per the convoy list. If anyone drops out I would love to join. Thanks. Avi

I guess you have signed up just now as your name was not on my earlier list. However, since there is space due to dropout you can join us for the drive. Will revise the convoy numbering at the the meeting point.

You went to the wrong meeting point, you were registered in the ABSOLUTE newbie desert drive in the morning !

Hi @Derek Fernandes it looks indeed as if you have opened the Newbie evening drive topic and navigated to that location instead of the Absolute Newbie morning drive. Our location was a few miles earlier on the same road so you’ve probably passed us by. I usually keep an eye out on the drive topic in case anyone has an issue, but as you’ve posted it in the wrong drive topic it was not noticed.
