A nice night for camping, though it did get quite chilly – i’ve been using my sleeping bag more than I expected I would so far on this trip! Being under the palms was nice when it was sunny, but…
Long days and little sun!
I managed to get one post done yesterday before my laptop battery went flat – I’ve got the next one mostly written as well, but with sunrise at around 0745 and sunset around 1845, coupled with some long rides –…
Back inland again! (Stage 7)
I slept so well last night – I was in bed by 2030 and asleep about 1 min later I think . A quick trip out at 0230, and the next thing I knew someone nearby was packing up their…
Bouncing along the coast (Stage 6)
TMI warning: I had some stomach cramps and something of a runny bottom yesterday afternoon / evening and was concerned that might continue over night, but though I didn’t sleep very well, things settled down and I’m feeling good this…
Agadir rest day
A good night’s sleep with even something of a sleep-in, not really waking up until 0830 by which time I was well and truly ready for breakfast. As I was walking back from dinner last night I’d spotted a good…

The literal high point (Stage 4)
No roosters last night, but plenty of dogs to help keep things entertaining. I had to get up for a pee at one stage and the stars were pretty amazing – the moon had already set by then, and with…
Let the hills begin (Stage 3)
A totally rubbish night’s sleep – the flood light, the roosters, the roosters even more, and then people were packing up from 0530 despite the fact the rider’s meeting wasn’t even till 0700 – I know I need to get…
Marrakech rest day
Nominally we’re in Marrakech, but in reality we’re in a camping ground right on the edge of the city which is kind of nice because it’s pretty quiet here (aside from the f*ing roosters who have no sense of occasion…
To Marrakech (Stage 2)
I did sleep well last night! I got up for a pee at 0245, and then went back to sleep until people’s alarms started going off at 0530. WHY….? Coffee wasn’t going to be ready till 0645, and breakfast wasn’t…
