Hi all

Just to let you guys know, finished this week routes MS4,MS12,MS11 ,all without any problem.Got lovely weather, so no complains.

About the route MS11, going from Merzouga to Aufuss, there a climb to be negotiated, I don't think a truck could fit in the narrow parts or hairpins. Also found this route hard after the climb, with lots of stones, forcing me to drive really slow ( 8~10 kph ) .


that's the end of my travel this year, if any of you want to see some pictures please visit my blog.

Tito

MH1 status
Just got this:

" … about two weeks ago I was biking the MH1 route through the High Atlas in Morocco as described in your guidebook. A few km before reaching the gite in Tagoudit at km 91.5 the road was washed away for about half a kilometer. So we biked the riverbed and crossed the stream a couple of times...

MW3 Assa to Draa bridge
Just heard that MW3 - 230km is all sealed but still a great route.

Look forward to doing that later.

MW3 Sealed!
Wow! Thats a big suprise.I did this route in February and other than the already sealed road from Taglite to El Borg there was no sign of construction.
A great route and if sealed then another fast rout to the coast

MH1 Nov2015 update
Over the last two days we made made MH1 with 2 heavy bikes (GSA1200 and KTM 1290 SA). From Midelt to Imichil no problem despite a part between 80 an 60 km before Imilchil. Street is washed away from river and route goes across river. Very challenging and not tecommendable. There is an easy detour which is not market but all cars takethis route. After Agoudal fantastic and easy trip over 2900m above sealevel peaks. Doablewith any kind of bike.

Guess I've ended up there in September as well. There's hardly more than a donkey trail left. Some locals told me there were some heavy rains in April and August that left quite a bit of flood damage. The detour is really easy indeed and the route is well worth it!

Road out
West of Midelt about 60 K the road is washed out, not passable at this time. Made it around four bad spots with the bike and then came to one I am not sure a goat could make. Trying to figure out road number of my map but not sure if it is #9 or 11-4
R704 from Tilmi to Agoudal was a great ride this morning with stunning views and up to 2850 M.

That's what makes an adventure, the unknown, unexpected
Bob
