I did it on the east side. Pretty easy push, but all pushing. River crossing at the north end was easy but it was during a dry spell.

I'm gonna guess that you didn't attempt to join any locals at (just at the point of) maghrib (sunset prayers) time whilst they stuffed themselves with lovely Moroccon food dyring the opening of the fast. You'd have been most welcome :-bd I'd (educatedly) guess and would have managed various delicac...

Thanks for sharing all of them lovely pics and hopefully my guesstimates turned out ok/helpful!? Looks like there's tortoises regularly seen? What's that snake? plus, did you figure out why them 2 buildings had twigs sticking out of them. Can feel the solitude from much of them pictures through/in ...

Plenty of cyclists on the north side of the Atlas mountains. A few organized tour groups. But only met 3 on the south, desert side. I saw 1 in the middle of the desert, in the middle of nowhere. Red shirt, blue Tureg scarf. He wouldn't stop to say hello. So I assumed he was French or Woodsmith from...

I recentley returned from almost 3 months in Morocco, the vast majority of the time being spent south of the High Atlas. The origanal plan had been to spend two months there, landing In Marrakesh, following the Atlas Mountain Race route down towards Tiznit and then taking the Route of Caravans from ...

Decant some into baby food pouch. Always good for a few wierd looks

Generally I just wear baggy-ish shorts and don't bother with long trousers. I do have some zip off leg Endura mtb trousers that are good for camp, especially in Scotland against the flying teeth. I've also used them in Turkey and will take them on my upcomming trip to Morocco for the sake of cultura...

Quick update.
I sent a request into S2S via the form on the website on the 10th and didn't hear anything for over a week. Gave them a call on the 21st and they emailed a DPD returns form. Got a new one dropped off this morning. Very impressed with the sevice. No proof of purchase was required.

Got in touch with Wahoo support who were very helpful with a prompt response, as were RWGPS. From Wahoo "open the elemnt app when you have your device paired to the app and then tap ypur profile image in the profile tab 10 times. This should then display a "secret menu" from this menu...

Fantastic with a tail wind. Not so much going the other way...

Old fashioned inner tube stitched over sticking have repaired a side wall cut. I also swopped the cut front tyre to the back. I figured a rear tyre blow- out would be a inconvenience. A flat front blow out would be over the bars and ride limiting... Intersting idea. I hadn't thought about the front...

I've always thought the Tailfin thing was a very expensive solution to a non existant problem. I just fail to see what it offers overs a regular rear rack with dry bag strapped to the top that performs the same function at a similar weight for a fraction of the cost. I have seen two separate reports...

If the saddle rails are strong enough to support a rider I would have thought that the added weight of a saddle bag shouldn't over stress them as long as the combined weight of rider + bag is within the max weight stated for the saddle (if there is one). My main fear would be the straps quickly sawi...

Thanks chaps for your thoughts. Unfortunetley I'm entering and exiting Morocco from different cities so leaving one at a hotel for collection isn't an option. It feels like I'm being over cautious to lug a kilo of spare tyre around so I will leave one boxed up ready with my sister to Fedex/ups out s...

In his defence it does look like the fire is on a hard surface rather than soil/vegetation so there is less damage being done. But its warm enough that he's in shirt sleeves and seems to have sufficient carrying capacity that there's what appears to be a guitar/violin case in the background, so plen...

I'll be off to Morocco shortly for a couple of months, followed hopefully by 6 to 8 weeks back through Spain and i can't decide whether I should take a spare tyre. The new Chronicles ( set up tubeless) fitted will last the distance no problem but a gashed sidewall will leave me shafted in Morocco wi...

Superb photo of her on instagram the other day.

After 6 weeks of not doing much cycling due to a bit of tendonitis in the knee, today I've finally said " f#ck it, I'm going anyway" and booked my flight to Morocco in 10 days time. I've been thinking about this trip for months but haven't done much prep or research recentley as I couldn't...

Who are you using for travel insurance for your foreign bike trips? Ideally I'm looking for single trip up to 12 months that can be extended while abroad. Medical and repatriation only . Don't need cancellation and sleeping in a tent/fleabag hotel usually doesn't cover the anti-theft requirements. N...

Trying to use up some spare parts to build an N+1 on the cheap. Don't suppose anyone has a 29er Bootzipper frame and forks hanging around unused that they want rid of for cheap? Would consider a medium or large. Just spotted this on Fleabay. Not mine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225326771023?hash=it...

Are your routes pinned on RWGPS? I haven't used my elemnt for a while having bought another Garmin but I thought it only synced pinned rides from RWGPS. From the Wahoo site: Press SYNC to begin downloading your routes to the ELEMNT/BOLT/ROAM. All routes which appear under "My Routes" on t...

Are your routes pinned on RWGPS? I haven't used my elemnt for a while having bought another Garmin but I thought it only synced pinned rides from RWGPS. They are either stored in my "Routes" on Rwgps or archived. It seems like even the archived routes are still visible to the app? The onl...

I use my Wahoo Roam in conjunction with routes created on RWGPS. It currentley has over 400 routes stored which makes finding the one I want a chore on occasion. I've archived most of the routes on my RWGPS account as I don't want to delete them but haven't been able to delete anything from the Roam...

OOoo those are a bit epic. Nice shots.
