Handwritten memories

What travellers like you wrote to us after this route.

A postcard from the trackPure adrenaline

Hello from the adventure,

We've spent days on the bike crossing Atlas tracks, dry riverbeds, adobe villages and seas of dunes. Every bend is a new landscape and every night we crash out, exhausted and happy. Morocco on an enduro is pure adrenaline.

Covered in dust and smiles,

Rubén

A postcard from a southern villageNever alone

Dear family,

At every stop they greet us with tea and curiosity, the children come out to wave and, when a bike breaks down, someone always turns up willing to help. Riding here is also discovering its people. We never feel alone on the trail.

Thank you for so much, Morocco,

A postcard from the bivouacThe desert rewards

For those who live on the edge,

After a hard day on the trails, reaching the camp among the dunes, switching off the engine and hearing only the wind is priceless. The desert rewards those who cross it. I'll be back with my bike and hungry for more.

Throttling up memories,

Víctor
