Just now, on February 8th, 2026, around 6 PM, we finished the first leg of the AMR. 48 hours of a rollercoaster ride in every sense. Describing everything now is nearly impossible.

We set off around 10:00 after breakfast. Again today, there was lots of waving, honking, laughter, and exclamations of surprise when the lioness was recognized for what it was. Otherwise, relatively uneventful. The start time was moved forward by an hour, and the route was changed again. Now things are

Smoothly merging into traffic, weaving through the hustle and bustle of the medina, and nobody is aggressive. On the main road, cars stay behind us when overtaking isn't possible and give us plenty of space when we do overtake. An old man from whom we buy water gives us dates and beams from ear to ear

A surprisingly large group met, as usual, at the Trek Store. After the reconnaissance rides of the last two days, we had to replan our route, as numerous gravel paths would have required a sled or ice skates. So we quickly fixed a faulty seatpost (it was too cold; it kept wanting to retract back into

For all its beauty, I'm still missing a good remedy for cold feet without resorting to electronics. Winter work gloves for €5.60 are just as good for the hands as gloves ten times more expensive, as the test series showed; it's just the feet that make longer rides difficult. But not cycling isn't a solution either 😜.

Kurze Runde, um das neue Jahr würdig zu beginnen. Es lag erstaunlicherweise weniger Müll rum als vor einem Jahr. Ein positiver Aspekt.

Bevor der Wahnsinn wieder um sich greift und die importierten 42.500 Tonnen gezündet werden ging es noch einmal in die Stille der Wälder.

After prematurely ending our AMR (Alpine Marathon), we took a taxi to Essaouira. We felt very comfortable there and had a great closing party with many others, both finishers and non-finishers. We stayed for two more nights before heading back home. First, we drove again to Ait Hadi to a fantastic place
