In the middle of October 2022, I packed my gravel bike and headed to Morocco for a little cycling trip around the Atlas mountains and a bit of exploring around Marrakesh. Over 5 days, I rode ~412km and 7715m elevation - mixed terrain of gravel and road.

To be honest, I feel a bit embarrassed sharing that distance / elevation as the Atlas Mountain Race took place earlier this month, covering a whopping 1302km with 20,200m elevation… Ouch🤯.

I shared some stories, the ride route + links to the rides on Strava along side A LOT of photos on my website from Marrakesh & days 1 and 2 of riding. Part 2 will have days 3, 4 and 5 of riding. You can check it out by clicking the button below!

Morocco Cycling - Part I

I chose to share everything on the website as opposed to here because it is much better for photo viewing. Enjoy, and feel free to ask questions, etc in the comments either here or on my website.
