This trip is led by Houssain and the guiding team in Morocco.
Transfers from Marrakech to Imlil, This is the start of the riding on the first day. We start with a climb! Not a tough one but good enough to put pressure on the pedals to make sure everything is working. At the top of the pass, we usually stop for mint tea and biscuits before heading for the first real singletrack through the villages of Tacheddirt, Tamguist and Amssakrou. This is good, flowing singletrack for a couple of hours which drops us into the riverbed for lunch. After a good, long lazy lunch we’re off again. A short climb which turns into a singletrack descent. At the end of this singletrack we stop in a Gite for the night at Imi Oughelad.
After breakfast we leave Imi Oughelad following a dirt road that climbs steadily, zigzagging up to allow us to enjoy a very nice view over the Ait Maizane valley, the neighboring valleys and all the small passes. We continue to the Tacht pass where we will stop for drinks and some nuts, then continue along the Azzaden valley on singletrack passing through several villages to get to Ouirgane, lunch then transfers to Marrakech.
