I look forward meeting you all tomorrow! Thanks to our Support team i was able to stretch the convoy a bit.

Few notes before the drive:

1. Try to arrive a bit earlier (15mins) so you have time to deflate and set up your flag.

2. Make sure to bring your Newbie gears: Programmed radio, shovel, pressure gauge/deflator, and your compressor.

3. We will be using Channel 10: 446.231Mhz.

4. Deflate to 14psi if you have HT tires, or you can deflate to 12psi if you have AT tires.

5. If this is your first drive with us, make sure you have watched our Newbie briefing video.

See you all tomorrow!
