Alarm 6:00, anyway we are awakened at 4:15 by Muesin for calling the call to prayer from 5:00 am . I do not know if it was because of Ramadan but we are entitled to an initial call at 4:15 and another at 5:00, and in addition they have the sound system thoroughly and it lasts a while, especially as we hear as wide calls from other mosques of Fes, Atmosphere.
short we load the bikes and we hand it is 7:30, there is no food and little to drink, can be found on the road. But while on the road is closed, it's Ramadan. In the climb
on Imouzer Kandar Ifrane before to 1800m ratatouillent and motorcycles fueled evil, especially that of Patrick, my advice has changed the settings back the fuel to baffle the pot and have a quieter bike. Obviously this is not a success. Before
Ifrane, first tracks, the track T1 described by Gandini, rocky trails with superb location, great.
'' Hey Patrick, it is ground, eh! ''
Arrive in Ifrane, Morocco Switzerland. Before the royal palace an army of gardeners is working to maintain green spaces. It's like they change their country. We stop at a hotel to buy water, whammy, Dh 15 a bottle,''is a three star''Mr., ah well. Full of bikes, we head towards the center, shops are open for purchase picnic, sardines in tomato sauce (must vary a little), "Laughing Cow", toast (no fresh bread before 1300, Insha Allah). You leave, track left after the station, crossing the Cedar Gouraud, a bit of tar on the road Azrou and Midelt south runway left. Gas
Gouraud Cedar
Patrick's bike becomes undriveable due to carburization, it is more than 2000m. Snack stop in the forest and meeting mechanics to remove the baffle, which chokes the engine.
But she is rebellious and does not want out, using a cable is attached to the baffle a tree, start, first, acceleration and nothing moves, the wheel digging into the soil but all, by taking little shots we will reach the exit. Essay on the runway,''day and night, no more missed''For me the Phillips head screw is too damaged to remove the baffle, you need a drill, I remove the fabric that I stop Sand had put it at the entrance of air filter, it goes a little better but not there yet.
The baffle does not move
Meeting a couple with a Toy registered in 33, very well equipped. We discuss our respective paths.
We're back in the forests of cedar, superb sandy track, later we will see the monkeys but too far for photos. In a small village, seeing that they do not want to give a pen or candy kids want to send us on a wrong track, thank you GPS.
Just before Bakri, 2 or 3 km on the track is covered with large piles of gravel dump here to redo the track, on the first part it goes to the right or left, but Then the song is ledge and you have to cross the woops formed by piles of gravel, no problem on a motorcycle cons 4x4 it should be less funny.
Back on tar, long straight, on arrival Midelt. Judgement in a garage and see if they can put in blow of my screw drill, they did not''loaf''and offer to solder a piece of scrap metal on the screws to remove, no thank you we'll see later. Arrive around 17:00 Midelt, Hotel Atlas, 170Dh night, two meals, garage for motorbikes and hot shower.
Meeting with a guy with an old Finistère BJ45 that is getting a health Midelt, we offer two beers in our room, nice.
talk at the table with a pair of back-packers Quebec. Besides the Dutch not very talkative. Strolling in Midelt, very lively in the evenings because of Ramadan, racing for the next day. Discussion
a Moroccan souk with a little political, but nice.
Dodo big step tomorrow.
Suite .....
