@Ruan van den Heever where did you go mate? I was under the impression that the last drive was a bit too extreme for you, and that's why you took a break. 😜

But it's good to have you back. Look forward to meeting up with the Sweihan boys, but not this weekend.

@Gaurav would be taking over this drive as I have some family commitments on Friday that needs me to be closer to home. But with the weather getting better and with a wonderful group of seasoned AD members, this season is going to be super awesome. I will definitely look forward to spending more time in the AD dunes and that also goes for many of the Leads in Carnity.
