The cross country piste was asphalted maybe six or seven years ago. You climb out of the Ameln Valley from Tafraoute on the RR105, then at the roundabout a few km further on take the right fork onto the RR106. After about 6km turn right at Azgour onto the new road. This joins the RR109 at Issafn and then on to Tata. I've done this route three times now.
The last time I did Ait Herbil to Tafraoute it was basically ride the river bed up a valley, but then it was closed with a massive landslide. I had to backtrack and ride up a parallel valley piste in the dark. I don't know that this route would ever get asphalted.
