Thursday 18th May - The Tizi n'Test pass - 182km (trip total 3818 km)


Today's ride was up and down the Tizi n' Test pass, a 2100m pass completed around 1930 that runs through the high Atlas mountains ultimateley connecting Marakesh with Taroudant.

We had decided not to go to Taroudant (as originally planned) as the temperatures there were now in the 40's and instead spend an extra day in the mountains. So we rode up the pass to the summitt and then back - a very pleasant 5 hour round trip, through some wonderful scenery & challenging roads.

As I said yesterday, I had decided to dedicate todays ride to two SSBB bloodbiker colleagues who have sadly passed way in the past 2 weeks and so rode with them in my mind & added an SSBB sticker to the collection at the summitt cafe in memory of NB & MH.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves today.
