Unknown Morocco

Itinerary days 4 & 5

Day 4: Tuesday

Another early start, made easier by a breakfast of home baked breads, jams and cheeses. An initial uplift is provided by the vehicles, then some gentle uphill pedaling to meet our mule men and the start of a hike up Tizi Rougoult. Mules carry our bikes up this incredible mountain. At the top we’re rewarded with an amazing singletrack descent down the other side. A long technical, but flowy descent eases into a slight downhill descent passing though some incredible scenery and more villages full of friendly children to meet the landcruisers (or ride a tough climb for 20km) to get to the next gite. This is another night in a Berber run gite. Again the friendly welcome, great food and local children all wanting to help and watch make for a truly incredible experience.

Day 5: Wednesday

After two early starts there’s a more gentle start to the day and a short transfer out to freeride the arid mountain tops above Ouarzazate. There’s a huge area to be explored – a true playground for bikers! The vehicles stay close by to offer a transfer up to ride down as much as we like. Then we either ride or take a lift to a hotel in Ouarzazate for the night. On the way we pass the big film school and old film sets. Many films have been shot here, such as Kundun, Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven, and the drivers will point out where. The night is spent in a hotel with a pool, ensuite rooms and a bar with wine and beer available.
