Notes
Route Name on Rouvy: Al Awabi | Oman
The route features desert plains and rocky outcrops on a 29km route with around 200m of ascent. As you pass through Mahali and Bani Khuzayr, you'll see rolling terrain with date palms and traditional villages. Near Wadi Al Asami, enjoy dramatic canyon views and rugged cliffs. The route gradually ascends to Al Awabi, showcasing the Al Hajar Mountains.

Kit, preparation, and weather
I suggest meeting on the start line in just ride mode at 18:30pm and also in Discord. If anyone needs any assistance then use the whatsapp Rouvy group for comms.
Note if you join the challenge I suggest you do not use the 'Ride Next' button from the challenge page to start the ride as it will default to TT mode (no drafting), instead from the route page start in 'Just Ride' mode.
