special/specific assistance from support which is not listed below.

The support lead will take responsibility for sourcing food/water during the 3 days and will

arrange afternoon/evening meals during the 3 days. With agreement from Hijrah lead/Group

Lead they may need to take riders into King Abdullah Economic City or Badr should they wish

to dine out in the evening or require any urgent items.

Hanif will be at hand to support with food arrangement during the ride.

Camera man (support) will also be available to assist should any groups require any support.

He will be back up support should any support drivers or riders need any assistance.

Both Zahid and Hanif will provide assistance to the Support leads.


Support Vehicle for 3 Days

All support drivers assisting will ride behind the group they have been allocated. Where

possible they will drive behind the group; shielding them from any vehicle traffic coming from

behind. At times they may go ahead of the group to assist at key turns shielding them from

traffic coming from the front.

The support drivers will ensure they will stop at each stop noted in the route and assist the

riders with food and water.

Support drivers assisting a group will ensure they carry the groups Day bag (shoe bag) within

the vehicle they have been assigned. This will ensure the riders have quick access to any of

their personal items as they may not have access to the cabin luggage at each stop.
