    Hi Ajay. Thanks for organizing this ride. For some reasons the google maps link seems not working (I got somewhere in Texas). The coordinates seems ok. Got some point in Badayer.

    Thanks Sahil for a great Fewbie drive this afternoon. I think the drive was challenging for some as there was a number of recoveries on our way to Iftar Bowl. Have to say it was a really nice drive and lead by Sahil.

    :thanks: again

    Good and enjoyable drive this Friday. :drive:

    After starting with a large convoy gathering newbies and fewbies, Ajay decided to split the group. He and Francis took the newbies for a smooth drive as Sahil and myself looked after the fewbies.
    It was definitely the right decision to split the convoy. We had a great drive with the group and despite several recoveries, all went well. Anthony got his tyre damaged and had to change the wheel, but fortunately it only happened at the end of the drive, back on the tarmac. 😀

    Congratulations to all drivers for good skills and spirit. Thanks to Sahil for the great lead in technical dunes and nice bowls.

    See you all next time. :-*
