Looper

The curse of Shuwaib is a never-ending saga for me. All the previous drives though that starting point have ended for me in some disappointment involving the health of my car. This time my car did well - the people in it did not, @Zulfikhar Naiyar guest did not fare too well as well. Unfortunately, @khurramm had to exit early in Shuwaib itself - always better safe than sorry. The desert we drove around are my favorite dunes to drive; fast technical and high climbs test both car and the driver. If it weren't for some sick passengers, we would have spent a lot more time and ending the drive at the Badayer, instead of wrapping up almost midway in the drive. Having said that it was still a great drive. @Noufal at second lead was fantastic. Kept the right distance and corrected when it was needed. Behind him @Infaz, @Zulfikhar Naiyar drove quite efficiently. There were clouds in the horizon that seem to be raining, far away to chase. In the dunes we experienced fast winds and sandstorms. Till next time.

Sorry about it we start at 3:30 - it will be the move out time

I will tell you when we meet.

@khurram, @Abdullah A., @Noufal, @Infaz, @Zulfikhar Naiyar Thank you all for joining the drive. It is very hot these days, so make sure that your vehicle is in tip top condition. We will be doing some very steep climbs from the start itself. We will start the drive immediately after we deflated and ready to go ~ 3:10 so please be ready by then. The briefing will be done from the comfort of the car. As mentioned, the drive should finish by 6:00 pm - I will end the drive near the shops so that they can inflate for us. we should be out by 6:30 pm. The convoy order as follows: Looper - Lead Abdullah A. Noufal khurramm Infaz Zulfikhar Naiyar See you all fresh tomorrow afternoon.

@Kirill K I see you have signed up but you are not yet reached FB+ level. Request you to consider other drives in the FB level. Has anyone noticed the gaffe I made yet?

DRIVE PLAN Join me for a Saturday afternoon adventure as we head up to the Badayer Dunes, what’s left of it. We will end start our drive at Shuwaib Farms and on the way, we will see all the dunes that we blaze past in the IM drives here. There will be a section of slow bushy technical area and after that few more great dunes to play.

i am happy to announce that @Sam Selim will now lead this drive!

@Jose Luis Campos & @Mahesh_ as discussed I am rescheduling the drive to next week considering the worldcup schedule. See you next week !

To be honest I too forgot about the games. I think we should postpone it next week. @Mahesh_!?

@Jose Luis Campos & @Mahesh_ shall we reschedule the drive? There are two games Saturday night / Sunday morning. Perhaps a Saturday afternoon drive? Start at around 4:30 - 5:00 & finish by 7:00?

DRIVE PLAN This will be a regular rerun of drives we’ve done a few times before. We’ll meet just ahead of Badayer Shops and head straight out, shouting our rally cry, “Yalla Push!” It’s going to be a short, quick drive, starting at 6:15 and wrapping up by 8:30, so we can inflate and be on our way by 9:00. All members joining are requested to review the information below and strictly follow the guidelines, etiquette, and responsibilities provided. All participants are requested to install the Garmin Tread app on their phones and set it up with their credentials. At the start of the drive, I will share a group drive code, and everyone will be asked to join the group drive. This will help us keep track of all members in the convoy in case there’s a break in the group. Please ensure that you exit the group drive after you have finished the drive.
