Registration closes tomorrow

The Morocco-BikeAdventure is a real adventure hard to find these days. Along the piste route in the desert, you find several water wells and the water is usually fine to drink.

Peter registered again!

Peter registered again!
He will be back at the start of the Morocco-BikeAdventure piste route coming October.

His goal: “Enjoy the ride!”

We are sure, also with his long brakes till he starts in the morning, as fast he rides his bike he will finish at Sidi Ifni as one of the leading riders.

Kevin finished the piste route Ext.1 in 14 days

Kevin finished on the 2182km piste route with extension 1 in 14 days and 5h. The piste route is not to compare with the road route. Piste is not gravel. Piste means anything where the pavement ends and a real off road car is needed. It was Kevins first bikepacking event.

Congratulations Kevin! What an effort! Well done!

“Keep your bike as simple as possible”

“Keep your bike as simple as possible” what i lurned on this journey. Francisco finished yesterday after 14 days and 3 hours. He started for the piste route and changed to the road route from Missour on after he had problems with the wheels and the cassette.

Mex finished in 13 days and 6 hours

Mex from Austria finished on the road route 2 days ago in 13 days and 6 hours. This is still and impressive 160km per day. Mex is new in bikepacking. He traveled all over the world on his motorbike the years before. And he decided short time before the start, to go for the Morocco-BikeAdventure.

Congratulations Mex!

Kevin at Erg Chigaga

Two days ago Kevin was in the Erg Chigaga section. Big dunes and the only access over Maroccon pistes. Good navigation skills are needed to not get lost. Maybe the hardest part of the whole route. This year after almost 2 years without any tourisme in Morocco, more sand then usual on the piste.Kevin is the only rider left on the piste route with extension 1.

Irena comimg from extension 2 in the high Atlas arrives at Mhamid soon. At Mhamid where the road enda, rider feel like at the end of the world.

Irena made it yesterday morning to Tizi-n’Ouano the highest route point, with 2910m one of the highest drivable pass in Morocco. She is the only rider going for the extension two and the whole 3000km route.

Jamie Oliver finished 2nd on the road route

Jamie Oliver finished this morning 06:53 in Sidi Ifni the road route. He needed 6 days and 21 hours. That makes an avereage of 307km per day.

Congratulation Jamie! Well done!

Francisco is the last rider aproiching Erg Chebbi, the biggest sand dunes in Morocco. He chnaged to the road route. Lamri and Irena are heading for extension 2 to the High Atlas while Peter and Kewin will skip extension 2.

Lamri take exit 1

On the piste Boudnip to Merzouga Lamri decided to take the exit to “Valée de Ziz”. Why he is currently off route. This is an option riders can choose but will result in a penalty.
