@Kailas Please waitlist me for my 2nd drive of the week.

@Srikumar My tires are 245/75/17s, yes they are AT. Bridgestone Dueler A/T. I have been told by the service center that the tires have unevenly worn out, I assume it is a by product of driving in the desert.

On the way to achieving the quest of reaching 1 km in ascent, recording of the drive on my car said we did it and then did some more. 1.644 km to be precise. Thanks a lot @Lorenzo Candelpergher for the drive. It was an unrelenting drive, and towards the end the heat affecting the car and I getting a bit tired caused a couple of refusals. A big thanks to @Alexander Alcala for guiding me out of them. @Alexander Alcala you mentioned I fishtail a lot. I explained to you that due to the lower clearance of my stock car coupled with stock tires cause me to scoop sand and I loose momentum. That is my assessment, but could there be any other reasons? Also a big thanks to @Shaaz Sha and @Hisham Masaad for the support roles. @Javier Lucero, you did well as the second lead.

update: The clinic gave me an test ID number and said should call DHA to ask them to update the app. But gentleman at DHA advised me that the Turnaround time is 30 hours within which the DHA will update the App. I had my test done yesterday evening and got the negetiv test result in the morning. Did the test at a private clinic because it is near my house in walking distance.

My COVID test results are not showing up on the App, I am trying to resolve it. I am trying to call AlHosn app help line which is turning on some kind of podcast like message and also trying the clinic. Can anyone let me know what I should do?

@Kailas can you place me in waiting list ?

I am in. Thanks a lot @Islam Soliman

Please waitlist me for this drive. It will be my 2nd one.

Does anyone have Gaia GPS stats for this drive?

@Ale VallecchiThank you very much!

@Ale Vallecchi if there is any spot available I would like to join this drive. This will be my 2nd drive for the week.

It’s gorgeous clip. Download Garmin VIRB application, and open this clip. You might be able to add some cool gauges. I was not successful becauseI think I recorded at full 2.7k, which is not supported perhaps.

Did I not hear that before? I was trying to keep enough distance to not break the momentum but yet not too far away that I loose track of the lead, and the terrain did not help. I try to anticipate the moves made by the lead and try to keep up but those technical dunes made it a bit difficult to judge sometimes. The terrain was a deceiving one as mentioned by @Lorenzo Candelpergher in the beginning of the drive and was made abundantly clear by my many refusals. The sand would look compact only to be discovered that is it smoother than baby powered, and I would find myself having a situation that I would eventually get out anyways. I enjoyed the drive every bit as much as all of us did. Normally the intermediate drives are fast, and one might not find any time to take any photographs, but not this one. A few I took are in the gallery.
