No worries @Yerem Davtyan your name was still in the waitlist on Friday when i closed the convoy list around 10am. 

Yeah, I believe I removed it in the afternoon. Apologies, hope didn't cause much inconvenience.  

Cheers!

Yerem 

Folks, looks like you had an awesome drive! @Frederic, I just realized that you put me as a 2nd lead (thank you), but I believe I had removed my name from the waitlist on Friday, didn't I? 

Apologies if I didn't and caused inconvenience.  

See you in the sand soon! 

Dear @Hisham Masaad, plans have changed for Friday morning so unfortunately cannot join the drive, removed my name from the list. Have fun folks!

Just now, Gaurav said:

Hi All, please confirm your participation and if your plan has changed, please leave the RSVP as we have long waitlist.

I'll close RSVP by 9 PM today, to give WL guys additional chance in case we have any last minute drop outs.

Also please note drive time has changed to 8 AM to 12 PM now.

When we started at 4pm the dashboard showed 48°C and felt the humidity in the air. After a informative briefing by @Gaurav we were off to route which was negotiating for the newbies & fewbies. 

@Yerem Davtyan this was your first time as 2nd lead and you did a great job, once you knew how to communicate you just did it naturally. Sharing the drive details is cherry on top.

@Brett Eicher you follow the lead very well too!!

@Lucas don't let the stuck and refusal worry you about the sport its just a part of this game. Once you get the hang of it, you will just keep wanting more of it.

@MChatt89 you powered away on the churned track and make it look easy..

@Vanessa8580 you surprised by joining us after doing you morning run and yet filled with passion and energy. As centre forward you made the drive fun for us at the back end.

@jeetu sharma you were calm and working thru the churned track which I created, my bad and kept up too the pace.

@Zulfikhar Naiyar your X bumper looks the best i have seen.

@salah2u thanks for the support and knowing you watching us from the back, kept the back end of convoy safe. Thank you.

Once again I would like to say thanks to all for making the drive special.  The last hour of the drive was fast and fun i enjoyed the most and the terrain was exciting and everyone worked as a team to make that happen.

Thank you and see you'll soon.

Cheers, @Sunny84 for a structured and detailed review Pleasure meeting you in the sand!

See you all in the sand again soon!
