Varun Mehndiratta Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Dear Sand Sailors Wow, just realized its already been more than two months since we went on that high speed, adrenaline pumping drive from Tawi Nazwa to Big Red - the 1st phase of this series - covering more than 50Km in less than 2.5 hours. With weather getting really nice, glad to launch the 2nd phase. This time we will start off next to Last Exit with one and only mission - keep the wheels rolling and while side slopping, ridge riding and criss-crossing through the dunes in Qudra, go as far as we can go. With no specific exit in mind, its going to be a drive with focus to indulge in our innate NEED FOR SPEED (while ofcourse keeping safety as our top priority).

Varun Mehndiratta Posted October 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Dear Sand Sailors @Werno @Jona @salah2u @Mahmoud Taha @Jessica Lambert @Joseph Raju @Gerrit Bus @Yusuf Esaf Thanks for RSVPing for the drive. What an awesome mix of rides and riders we have here - from new to Fb+ to experienced intermediates and that too with all makes of vehicles - actually, don’t think we are missing any options, perhaps a truck, let’s see we have may have new joinees over thr week. This is going to be some nice fun on the sand. I have been out of country and have missed the feel of sand for last two weekends, so really looking forward for this drive. Last time we were on this track, we covered around 75Km in 3.5 hours and that was not with intent for a fast pace drive. So let’s see what we can achieve with this awesome convoy we have here. No pressure, I think that was a NB or a FB drive 🤔🤔 Key elements to plan before Sunday. a. Take good rest before the drive. b. Hydrate yourself properly through the week, my ambition with this High speed Drive is not to even allow for time to drink during the drive 😀😀. Dubai 30x30 is starting soon, take this as a preparatory drive. c. Ensure your vehicle is in good shape. d. Check all your gears. High speed drive entails high speed fixing any issues as well and that requires all your gears to be in perfect shape. So sharpen up those shovels and wrap up properly those ropes. No radio, hmmmm it’s okay, drive back home from Last Exit can be exciting too 😀 e. Most important every day for rest of the week, before heading back to bed at night and as soon as you wake up, recite this Mantra atleast 3 times. “No Countersteering,No fighting gravity” ”No Countersteering, No fighting gravity” ”No Countersteering, No fighting gravity” Only those with recording of daily recitals will be allowed for the drive 🤣🤣 See you all on Sunday. Have a nice week ahead. Cheers 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrit Bus Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 I have had to bow out from this drive as it is my grandson's birthday. And although we don't celebrate it at 6am, I am expected to be lucid and awake during the day 😁. Enjoy the drive. See you all on the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
