A Loop in Morocco

A two week cycle tour through the Atlas Mountains
By Daniel Norwood
#817 - posted Sunday April 1, 2018 by Neil Gunton

"I start overtaking giggling schoolgirls and boisterous schoolboys, whom I assume are heading home for lunch. The boys try to mirror me as I ease past, jumping furiously on pedals, turning their rusty rides into speeding steeds. The warm wind gives me an invisible advantage: my panniers are acting like sails – for now, at least – helping me into my rhythm, and I’m regularly hitting 20mph on the flat, smooth road.

I love seeing these old mosaic floors that would have been the centerpiece of a home during Roman times. Kind of like excellent Turkish or Iranian carpets today.
