Dear friends 

@Janarthan, @Christian Andras, @Jorge Stepniak Felippe, @Mehmet Volga, @Ilya Golubinsky and @Lorenzo Candelpergher

Thank you for signing up on this intermediate drive starting at Lisaili.As you are aware , since this is an intermediate level drive we will try to drive through terrains which is a mix of long range playable dunes and some tight technical areas which will make you a better sand driver. Always remember to get to play areas one has to cross these technical areas at most places and hence one needs to practise and master on these "baby dunes" which literally suck your car in even if you lose concentration for a second.

We will try to start as sharp on time as possible and head on the camel track to the technical areas , where we will take a slightly difficult path for you all to be prepared as you progress in your off road levels. Once this part is clear we will be doing most of the playable long range "honeymoon" dunes in Lisaili, Murquab and onto Faqa. Hence the name "troika" as  we will be playing on three areas of white sand. 

Remember there will be technical dunes separating each of these areas . We will try to reduce them as time progresses and head towards areas which are closer to the exit on to Al Ain Road. Be prepared for repeated sideys, longer ridge rides and higher criss crosses which will keep you engrossed. We will keep good pace and try to cover all of these , albeit if there are some issues beyond anyone's control. Rest assured we will be doing it in as safe a manner as possible.Please check your cars are in the as best of conditions as possible and all fluids topped up well in time.

More updates on final members joining soon. Enjoy your week for a fun and adventure filled long weekend!!
