Dear Desertnauts, here's the briefing for tomorrow's drive. The meeting and deflation point is the following: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SshRuUB1aFeinMtr7 You may refuel at Sweihan's ADNOC station 960 (https://g.co/kgs/pMQ25ZN). Then head to the meeting point above, where you can start deflating upon arriving (make sure the tires are deflated to the proper pressure for soft sand, as in recent drives we have had to further lower the pressure of a few drivers' tires). As mentioned, the drive will be focused on covering all the necessary skills that need to be gained to drive at Fewbie level. Considering that many of the drive's participants are already Fewbie and above, I'll do my best to provide even more information and tips that can be useful to improve their own skills and get better at supporting and recovering. The convoy order will actually reflect this intention, of giving higher ranked members the possibility of further improving their supporting skills, as every lower ranked driver will be following the tracks of a higher ranked member, which will take on the responsibility of assisting in whatever issue the lower ranked member may encounter: @Misha Puskar in Second Lead @J-P L at #3 @vinayak n at #4 @Glenn W in the Center @Hashem Rihan at @6 @Sandeep Padhi at #7 @Giacomo at #8 and @Deepak Eswar in Sweep (a position that will be switched along the drive with Giacomo). Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow, with the goal of leaving as close to 8:0AM as possible.

The drive will be divided in 4 parts of 45 minutes each: 1) driving at faster speed than an average NB drive (speed is one of the variables that increases as one moves up); 2) testing side-sloping skills, and safe exit strategies in case of loss of momentum; 3) ridge riding and straight or criss-crossing skills, with safe approaches and safe exits; 4) the sum of all the previous 3 segments, for a final smooth and fast convoy drive.
