A huge monster pass in the middle of the rugged Atlas Mountains. Here, too, modernisation has now struck. Parts of the pass are asphalted compared to 2012 (when I tried to conquer this mountain myself), others are still unpaved/gravel. But even these sections have been improved and widened. In any case, it has become much more rideable than the almost stretches of single track it was back in 2012.

A huge monster pass in the middle of the rugged Atlas Mountains. Here, too, modernisation has now struck. Parts of the pass are asphalted compared to 2012 (when I tried to conquer this mountain myself), others are still unpaved/gravel. But even these sections have been improved and widened. In any case, it has become much more rideable than the almost stretches of single track it was back in 2012. What remains for me besides the struggle against gravity, wind and fatigue, were 2 giant wild dogs who did not like passing cyclists disturbing their peace. Other than that, this pass, far away from civilisation is just pure enjoyment.

Een enorme monsterpas in het midden van het ruige Atlas gebergte. Ook hier heeft de modernisering inmiddels toegeslagen. Delen van de pas zijn ten aanzien van 2012 (toen ik zelf deze berg probeerde te bedwingen) geasfalteerd, andere delen zijn nog onverhard/gravel. Maar ook deze stukken zijn verbeterd en verbreed. In ieder geval is het veel beter berijdbaar geworden dan de bijna stukken single track die het in 2012 nog waren. Wat mij nog bestaat naast de strijd tegen de zwaartekracht, wind en vermoeidheid, waren 2 gigantische wilde honden die niet gediend waren van voorbij komende fietsers die hun rust verstoorde. Verder is deze pas, ver weg van de bewoonde wereld gewoon puur genieten.
