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…

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.

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.

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” 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.

Congratulations Francisco! Impressive how you finished this challenge!

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!

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 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.

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.

Some impressions from the piste Boudnip to Merzouga. A 160km stretch riders have no services, no water and no mobile network.

rider: Irena in 1st position on the piste route this early morning
