8bar Adventure / Crossing the High Atlas Mountains

8bar-bikes.com/blog/8bar-adventures-high-atlas/

We from 8bar love to ride our bikes ourselves and go on trips that deviate somewhat from the average.

Starting in 2012 by crossing the Alps with our fixed-gear bikes, to taking a trip from Berlin to Prague without the help of a map with our Singlespeed Cyclocross bikes in 2013 and climbing the Schneekoppe, the highest peak of the Giant Mountains in Poland, in 2014 with our road bikes.

This time we decided on Africa, the Atlas Mountains in the middle of Morocco to be more precise, as our next destination. The Atlas forms a striking divided line between the relatively humid climate in the far north of Maghreb to the extremely dry Sahara.
