…it was one of the best downhills in his life.

While working on the website I came again over this photo with Daniel in the descent from Tizi-n’Ouano 2910m, with almost 3000m altitude one of the highest drivable roads in north Africa. Steffen told me, it was one of the best downhills in his life. I waited on the route up there with my camera and the 200mm objective mounted. Without mobile access it was difficult to catch him and while waiting for him, i had a nice chat with a kit looking for the sheeps of the family up in the mountains. He was very interested about the world, about my gear, about the riders and he knew a lot. He remembered exactly the date of the early snowfall a year ago, that made it unpossible for me, to cross the pass with my bike, even i made it higher up as any car, and i had to return at about 2500m altitude where more then 1m snow was on the road. The boy had only old sandals on his feet. And after i made the last Photos from Daniel, already far down, he asked, if i have some old shoes for him. Sadly i had only the one i weard myself. But he was very happy, when i offered him a pack of chips.

A new idea!

Because of the uncertainty what our governments decide coming weeks and months, registration for the 2020 Morocco-BikeAdventure is open again till end of August. If we get any restrictions of maximum riders, it will be in the order of incoming registrations. New this year, a road version without traffic on paved roads only. Same start and finish as the piste/dirt road version.

Aouli mines near Midelt.

  Aouli mines near Midelt. These abonded mining buildings get new live in the last years. The section to the Aouli mines is the first desert section trough very impressive landscapes. It will be again a checkpoint for the Morocco-BikeAdventure 2020 dirt road route. The new road route will not come to this special place, since there is no paved road going there.

Moroccan transport in the high Atlas.

Moroccan transport in the high Atlas. Whyle Donncha had his second breakfast in front of the auberge down there a local passing by on his donkey towards Tizi-n’Ouano 2910m (in the 2020 edition part of extension 2). You go by roadbike or gravel plus bike? Choose new between the road route or the piste route for 2020.
