​Road bike training Morocco

 ​Road bike training Morocco 2022

Ride Notes:
​
This seven night trip with six guided rides is a great introduction to a new cycling region. We have fantastic local guides to show you the local culture and MTB Morocco  hosts to help you with anything you need. From your arrival in Marrakesh you will have an English speaking guide with you the whole time and a support vehicle. You will see ancient towns, small mountain communities and explore the great city of Marrakesh. But the real draw is the world class cycling over quiet roads in the mountains. We go over two passes above 2,000m, both incredible roads that are as good for cycling as anywhere in the world. Come ride somewhere new in 2022!

Ride Highlights​

Ride somewhere new with MTB Morocco

Ride somewhere NEW!

  • Mile markers in Arabic & Berber, the sound of call to prayer, riding in the sun near snow capped peaks in February. Morocco is such an exotic change from Mallorca or Tenerife!​
Soak up the local Berber culture. That means switch out the coffee for mint tea, the pasta for tangines.

Trade the coffee stop for mint tea​

Tizi n'Test riding bike rad morocco

First Pass in our training tour:

Tizi n'Test

A long snaking climb which you can see for miles. The gradients are mostly gentle as you climb almost 1,000m in the High Atlas. The road surface is good but narrow with gravel on either side of a good tarmac surface. An international climb with an attainable KOM - let's do it!t to start adding your
