Morning Ginga
Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2019 8:15 pm
Hi Almosters,
After enjoying the amazing early morning drive organized by [mention]Booy[/mention] we decided to plan this one also very early to enjoy the good weather during the drive and not to suffer because of heat. And I have to say even at the last parts of the drive you could lay on the sand and fix a pop out without any problem. thumbsup And the visibility was also great till the end. So the early drives will continue during the summer.
But there was one problem...5 minutes of resting the eyes turned into an hour of sleep and I missed the start of the drive you're kidding, right . Thanks to [mention]presa[/mention] (He was going to lead and I would be his support) [mention]Barish[/mention] and [mention]alshamsi_m[/mention] everything went on as planned (That's why we always have a supporting marshall & Explorer in almost every drive).
When I reached the meeting point I saw the intermediates preparing for their drive...I just said hi and floor it to the desert you're kidding, right . The challenge was to find the convoy in the desert and drive on soft sand with fully inflated tires....and If I put myself into trouble there was no one to help....So the formula is , go fast as much as you can, never slow down and keep the momentum and never do straight crests grin .
After a 15 minutes of fun I joined the convoy, deflated my tires and I was back on business grin
[mention]presa[/mention] gave our members variety of technical challenges and drove a very interesting track. Especially we all enjoyed the steep climbs where you need to adjust your approach speed perfectly to make the climb.
My only comment is for the drivers who are skipping to announce the second tries. This is a newbie level drive and you need to make this a habit for your self because if you cannot do that at this level you wont be able to do it when you drive at higher levels and the consequences might be a fellow member not aware that you are in trouble coming very fast behind you landing on top of you or the convoy will be very far away until they realized you are in trouble.
Its not a shame to do second tries but its a mistake to not report them!
Special thanks to [mention]Gabor[/mention] for joining us in the last minute to compensate the absence of no show 3 intermediate members (Noted) and [mention]Abu Odai[/mention] for honoring his commitment.
It was a beautiful Friday with Almosters and hope to see you next time!
Best Regards
