Why this ride
Atlas switchbacks, heat and a proper cultural anchor. This road trip is shaped as a ride, not as a shortcut: leave the start cleanly, use the first checkpoint for fuel and weather discipline, then ride Tizi n’Tichka Pass with something in reserve. The best part sits around Tizi n’Tichka Pass, Aït Benhaddou, while Taddert fuel and the food stop keep the day practical instead of turning it into a fuel hunt. Check the selected map before departure: scenic sections, transfer sections, speed/control reminders, risk points and the GPX checkpoint order are deliberately visible so the route is understandable before the engine starts. Ride it early if the area is popular, keep the photo stops legal, and shorten the route if weather, daylight or energy stops agreeing with the plan.
