Cirque de Jaffar condition?

kinderjajcka from Slovenia has posted on TripAdvisor asking,

"Can someone please tell me if the piste from Midelt to Tinghir via Imilchil is passable (tomorrow) for a motorbike? Some told me that it is no problem and others, that due to floods it isn't possible. Or maybe a website where I could check that?"

Does anyone have a condition report on the Cirque de Jaffar?

You can see my response at http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTop...et_Region.html

The piste has been repaired, there´s no great stone. You can pass even with a SUV

Thanks. Is that condition report from before or after the storm of 20-21 September?

If you read the link to TripAdvisor above, following my advice kinderjajcka took an all-tarmac route but there was serious damage just before Agoudim.

Dear all,

I'm preparing a Marrocos trip to next April with some friends.
We will traveling with our maxi trails motorcycles.

I'm thinking sleep in Midelt and start doing the Cirque de Jaffar piste by the morning at 08h00 am.

What time do you think we will need to arrive in Agoudal ?

I'm thinking make in the same day the complete piste, from Midelt, Cirque de Jaffar, complete the gas tank in Imilchil, Agoudal, go to road 704 direction to Gorges du Dades, M'Semrir and sleep at the hotel in Boulmane Dades... Do you think this is ok to make from the 8 on the morning until the 6pm?

According all the information we have, this piste have the total about 317 km.
If we rules :
2 hours at 20 km per hour = 40 km
+ 4 hours at 40 km per hours = 160 km
+ 2 hours at 50 km per hour = 100 km
I'm putting out 2 ours to take pictures, complete gas tank, take a coffee, etc...

Do you think this is possible to do, this is achievable ?: Palm:

I need do it because we only have one week to do all the Marroco trip...

I appreciate very much all the help, every information you can give me it's really importent to me, I will have the responsibility to travel with 5 or 6 friends and nobody have experience...

It´s difficult planing time tables for Morocco... but I think it´s too much if you are not in a rally. I´d better stop at Agoudal, there are some gites there.

I hope the road is is better condition than when we found it. To much snow and mud, the snow is probably much better but the mud I don't think so.
Don't go there alone, we were 9 and took us that long to get out.
The tree is is the track when you go from the cirque in Imilchil direction. It's near the end of the 7 km, closest to the Tarmac
