Riding through the Sahara Desert is a truly unforgettable experience.

Piste route – the stretch between M`hamid where the paved road ends and the checkpoint at Erg Chigaga.

You will ride through the wilderness of the Sahara desert. Unforgettable experience.

You can’t get wrong! Both routes are marvelous.

Piste or road route? What’s your choice?

Riders will enjoy it either way! Just a reminder – always grab some extra water.

The route is simply breathtaking!

“It’s a great adventure for anyone and also a serious test for any competitive racer who can hold it together physically and mentally. The route combines a diverse range of incredible scenery and surfaces including shifting desert sands, rough piste, and gravel. Strategy, logistics, planning, adaptability, and resilience will be needed as riders will be seriously isolated with few and meager options for resupply in rural Morocco where on occasions you may only find a few packets of wafer biscuits and tins of tuna. The route is simply breathtaking” – Donncha Cuttriss

Riding through the dunes.

Photo from the route, Irena right after riding through the dunes in the Erg Chigaga part. A good advice for this section would be to bring a good dose of patience, that’s for sure! And if you set the right tire pressure – that might take you a lot further…

New, nice pistes.

Route scouting November 2021 in Morocco. Some nice new pistes waiting for you. Our bikes parked while shopping for some food for the next stretch beside a donkey waiting for his owner. The usual scene in Morocco.

Go, Kevin!

Good luck to Kevin Denson – finisher of the 2nd Morocco-Bike Adventure – piste route, who will ride the #festive500 in one go!

He will be raising money for two charities:

Pink Ribbon Foundation

Friends of Herne Hill Velodrome

Go, Kevin!

Read his story: “Flu and 3 weeks off the bike has not been the greatest preparation for riding the furthest single ride I have ever attempted. As one of ten riders chosen to ride the Rapha festive 500 in one ride on the 27th and 28th of December at the iconic Herne Hill Velodrome raising money for The Pink Ribbon Foundation and Herne Hill Velodrome.

Donncha Cuttriss about Morocco-BikeAdventure :

“Happy New Year! If interested in an incredible bikepacking adventure for 2021 I highly recommend the Morocco Bike Adventure on 9 October. Its a great adventure for anyone and also a serious test for any competitive racer who can hold it together physically and mentally for a few weeks, the time which it will take to finish the 3000 km of the optional long route. The route combines a diverse range of incredible scenery and surfaces including shifting desert sands, rough piste and gravel. Strategy, logistics, planning, adaptability and resilience will be needed as riders will be seriously isolated with few and meagre options for resupply in rural Morocco where on occasions you may only find a few packet of wafer biscuits and tins of tuna. Andi Buchs has put years of work into this race and has divised a route which is simply breathtaking. The best thing is that this event doesn’t attract too many entrants so participants can mostly enjoy the route and experience as if out there on her/his own. However, when you do meet another participant on the course its just beautiful.”
