Great ride with Philip Van Der Walt and Leo Arsenault this morning. Nice to have Philip back in the desert for the first time this year after breaking his leg in the Oman Motocross race last year, did not seem like the leg bothered him at all.
If you follow the tracks below you skip most of the really soft sand dunes that are everywhere at the moment and makes your bike come to a dead stop as the front wheel disappears into the sand. Most of the route follows the valleys in between the dunes and the ones you have to cross are the larger ones. The speed of this route on an off road bike can be quite fast though so be careful especially across the flat portions and one or two sabkha plains, lots of kickers that will throw a sitting rider straight over the handlebars.
It is getting time to leave a bit later as at the normal 5:30 am leaving time it is still dark. Official sunrise is now at 5:58 am so 5:45 am or later is probably the best time to leave.
