Then again you might be a demon off road...
Riding in sand on a shed of a bike isn't just something you can learn just like that.
Probably best to buy tyres in Spain and know how to fit them yourself. Others are unlikely to want to do it for you.
Beers en route are always fine. I don't think anyone wants to be frustrated because they're being left behind/having to wait excessively. Everybody should be on their own trip and willing and able to be self-sufficient.

I am an experienced snowboarder, and I know exactly what you mean with that
but are you only going to ride sand?
If you woud have nothing against it, it really woud like to try riding with you guys...
If it doens't work out, then no problem, but at least I want to give it a chance. and I am not intending to follow you in the dunes...
maybe Jamie, if we do some riding around gibraltar, you can evaluate if i will be able to catch up or not...
about the tires, i have no choice. I will buy some here in spain, but i will have to find a garage in morocco where they can help me changing them. If they do it once for me/with me, I will be able to do it alone i think.
and if nothing of this all works, i'd still be glad to have a  with you so you can tell me a few good routes to take
