Bikepacking Morocco, cycling a lap of the Atlas Mountains

I went bikepacking in Morocco on a lap of the Atlas Mountains. The 8 day bikepacking trip was 750miles and I explored some of the more remote regions of the Atlas Mountains.

This video documents the first 4 days of my bike packing trip, check out part 2 to see how the trip ended.

My route for the first half of my bikepacking trip was as follows:
Day 1- Marrakech to Tizi n Test
Day 2- Tizi n Test to Anezal via P1702
Day 3- Anezal to Nkob
Day 4- Nkob to Boumalnes Dades

Thanks to @ryanlegarrec for the extra shots!

Belles images! Ca fait envie! Route tranquille il semble sans beaucoup de circulation.

Cycling in the Mountains is really worth taking. I'm also planning to visit Climb Hill in Switzerland. Recently, I visited Gatterli Downhill in Switzerland.

Could you put a link to a Strava or Komoot route up?

Great adventure Josh. Did you have any issues with feral stray dogs? Been to Morocco a few times, mainly for climbing but I do fancy a cheeky bike trip there. I've had a far too many bad experiences on a bike with dogs in 3rd world countries.

Looks amazing. Just cycling through Cambodia and Vietnam which is also awesome.
Where can we see the route you did ? Do you have it on Strava, RidewithGPS or Komoot and will you share if I buy you a coffee ?

Heya Josh, what wheelset and tyre combo did you use? Trip looks epic!

Hey Josh, sick ride - do you have a place I can access the gpx file?
