Day 15 back over the mountains again.

Well today started out with miles of flat and straight roads. Stopped at a film sets for ' the hills have eyes ' never heard of it . Bribed the watchman to get the bikes in.
Once in the Mountains again for our 5th crossing of them. The road was nothing special. I said ' hopefully it gets more interesting ', did I soon regret saying it. On the way up miles and miles of road works. So gravel roads, poor tar and dodge the rock piles. Thankfully the workers were on there afternoon brake in the high heat. Coming down the other side of the pass the road went back to single track tarmac, with signs of lots of rock falls. Also noticed lots of houses flattened or just about flattened. With lots of temporary housing. A Google search, I found the area had a bad earthquake about 18 months ago. Then soon found more road works that lasted miles and miles, but this time the workers were working. So diggers, lorries etc all over the place. The local drivers have no patience. So it overall made for interesting riding. Brian Black and myself are shattered from today, lots of concentration needed.
Found our accommodation just south of Marrakesh with a temp of 38 and thunder and lighting in the distance. The bikes were a bit dirty this morning, but now alot worse.
Rooms are good and again the food was amazing.Læs mere
