Atlas Mts Single Tracks

We booked originally booked a one day Singletrack Enduro day in the Atlas Mountains with Maroc Nature. I expected it to be good but not this good!!!! It was so good that we did another ride with them the day after, we can’t stop talking about these rides since we have got back, it was such an experience. As well as the singletracks themselves being brilliant, the people we met, the food, the views and the whole flow and organisation of the days were perfect. Maroc Nature is a very professionally run organisation.
Hisham was an excellent guide, he collected us from our Riad in the morning and then we drove with Mohammed into the mountains (Mohammed is a very calm driver with nerves of steel on the windy mountain roads!). The Cannondale bikes we used were in as new condition and they set them up to suit us before the start of each ride. They also provided pads and helmets, also in great condition.
 We are also telling everyone we know to go and do some rides with youJI don’t know what to say about the Atlas Mountains – they are incredible! Morocco is such a beautiful country and these rides really help you to appreciate that, I’m not sure how much time Hisham has to spend exploring to find these routes but I think he must know the mountains better than anyone else in Morocco. We went to some amazingly remote places. Hisham went ahead a lot and stopped to take photos for us which was really nice. On the second day we started the ride on another singletrack at a Berber village where we had some lunch in Said’s house before loading our bikes onto Said’s mule to hike to the start of the decent – we loved meeting Said, everyone we met were really welcoming towards us. Both days were planned really well, all our meals were taken care of, water and snacks provided. Thanks so much to Hisham and Mohammed, we are definitely coming back and saving up for next December

I met Hassan at my hotel lobby, who was more than happy to come out and meet myself, and my brother to arrange our bike expedition. The next day we were promptly met by himself and his team at our hotel. We were driven up to our destination in a 4x4, which took approximately two hours but we did stop for rest and drinks. 
I was provided with gloves, helmet and a good quality Cannondale full suspension bike. The guide Ridwan was very knowledgeable and an expert MTB rider. The trail was 35 km long high in the Atlas mountains, it may have been mount Tamatert, but I'm not 100%. The views were exceptional and did not come close to any trail I have ever done. The trail was a little tough but Ridwan was always at hand to offer support and advice throughout. We stopped midway through the trail for lunch, (mint tea and a delicious homemade kofte tagine, yummy!) Now that we were refueled and full of energy, I was eager to finish the last 8 km or so. This last stretch was amazing, it was mostly downhill, very fast and refreshing.
Thank you Hassan, Ridwan and Hicham for a memorable and fulfilling experience, I would highly recommend Maroc nature to anyone interested. I am already organizing my next trip, see you soon.

Thank you for accommodating my super last minute plans to explore single track mountain biking in Morocco. You guys were awesome! I couldn't believe how incredible the terrain was the local knowledge of the area taking me on exactly what I wanted to ride. If you are looking for real single track mountain biking... these guys will take you there!
