Congratulations. You're in. Confirmed for the drive. If anyone pulls out, @Thomas Varghese waits in the wings for your spot on the drive. Get yourselves prepared for a fast paced, relatively high octane ridge riding, criss crossing extravaganza.

Faya has lovely technical dunes, some fantastic long range ridges to ride and some of the highest dunes in the region. 

The rest, as they say, is up to you. 

See you soon in the sand.

I was waiting from morning to RSVP for the drive. Unfortunately when I clicked going the web page said paid subscriber's area and not authorized. By the time time I somehow managed to return back to the page the RSVP was full. Anyways I'm waiting in the wings for anybody to drop out as your drives are always exciting @Wrangeld but wish everybody to remain. I can take a place in a newbie or fewbie drive even now. 

[Junaid120120]

@Wrangeld if you allow me, I would love to be the SL please.

 

[Thomas Varghese]

@Wrangeld as I have joined @Tbone's afternoon drive you can waitlist me as my 2nd drive.

Thank you for your enthusiasm Junaid. 

Convoy positions and numbers have a number of variables so we cannot confirm any positions until the final convoy is sorted and we have given thought to the likely routing.

@Junaid120120 I truly apprecaite the enthusiasm for taking 2nd lead. On this occasion, the convoy and terrain did not make that make sense. I hope it does not change your enjoyment of the drive. 

See you all at 6.30 at the start point. 

@Thomas Varghese - seems you found another drive, so hope it's OK we did not add you here. 

[Varun Mehndiratta]

Hi Richard @Wrangeld seems you missed my message. I won't be able to join this weekend.
