For
cyclists of all levels, it can be a rewarding experience to navigate through
the complicated and sometimes difficult
terrain of Morocco. From the Atlas Mountains that are rugged to the expansive
sand deserts, every area brings its own
set of difficulties and beautiful views. Here are some tips to help you make
the most of your Moroccan cycling
adventure:
1. Plan Your Route
Research:
Describe the physical terrain, weather
conditions that are likely to be encountered, and changes in elevation of the
route you plan to take.
Maps and
GPS: It is advisable to use detailed maps and GPS devices to know one’s location at all times, especially in
areas with limited or no signals. Offline maps come in handy in areas with no connectivity.
Local
Advice: This paper seeks to gather information from local cyclists or tour operators to get more information and
ideas on the routes.
2. Prepare for Varied Terrain
Mountains: Steep climbs and descents are
offered by the Atlas Mountains. Make sure your bike is in good condition, and consider low gear for climbing.
Desert: It
has sandy and gravelly terrain that
requires a good sense of balance and control. Bigger tyres give better grip.
Paved Roads: Though less rocky, these can also
have their share of potholes and traffic. One should always be awake and a defensive rider.
