    It was a nice chilled morning drive today with good company. We started at Sony Erricson in low cloud that disappeared quickly. Made our way to Super Bowl and pass Iftar Bowl before cutting across to the Dubai/Sharjah fence where we made our exit. The drive had a little bit of everything, a few bowls, high climbs, and some tight technical dunes that caused a few 2nd attempts. Thanks to Alex for sweeping and fixing a mechanical issue and good to see pbencini again.
