My knowledge of the area is now well out of date but I didn't think there was a route from Atar to Boutilimit - or not a recognised one anyway. It's not that far from Nouakchott on the N3 anyway. The other route south from Atar is to Tidjikja but as a solo traveller that was a risk too far for me as it's another fuel free remote piste of around 250 miles. Again with four bikes you might be able to carry enough fuel and provide safety in numbers.
I guess you've got Chris Scott's books and checked out the current safety / security issues for the area. When are you thinking of going?
