Thank you all for signing up for this drive. Some small pointers for tomorrow:

1) Please try to arrive 15min earlier so you have time to deflate and install your offroad flag. 

2) We will be using Channel 2: 446.031Mhz on the radio channel. If you are on your first drive we can lend you one.

3) Once you arrive, you can deflate to 14psi if you have HT (highway) tires, or to 12psi if you have AT (All Terrain) tires.

 

Make sure to bring your shovel, pressure gauge, and compressor as well, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. A baseball cap or hat to protect yoursel from the heat is also recommended.

See you all tomorrow morning !
