MH7 and 8 by mountain bike
September/October 2018
Mountain biking / Bikepacking
Spent the last 12 days on dirt in Morocco and rode a bit of MH8, northern piste bit to Askaoun: Stunning overnighter, fantastic views and peace and quiet (without any traffic what-so-ever). A little water in the creeks due to recent heavy rains
MH7 from Askaoun to Anzal (beautiful landscapes and mule caravans): gnarly and probably impossible for you motos unless you've got a really light bike, loose big rock in the beginning of the gorge. Tarmac starts as with update in previous statements.
Thursday is Askaoun market day
I'm going back in the spring of 2019 and riding a lot more MO routes.
I'll update you when I can

N9 Tichka northside, muddier and more construction than ever as widening work moves down the mountain.
MH15 KM42-69 has got much sandier as it leaves the valley and further on, the climbs are pretty washed-out now.

The N1 highway between Laayoune and Dakhla has been completely rebuilt and repaved, except for a 50 km section between about 100 km to 150 km south of Laayoune.
The new road is remarkable, very wide, smooth as a baby's butt, extremely well constructed (it is on par with Swiss or German highways), very good sightlines everywhere.
My guess is that the last 50 km of construction will probably be finished before the summer of 2019.

Roadworks on Tizi n Tichka
Hi Guys,
Anyone been through in the last couple of weeks?Are the delays serious or,is it just slow progress?
Also,are there any roadworks on the Telouet-Ait Benhaddou route(which could be worse!).
I will be going South through there next week.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
