Our cycle challenge takes us from the wonderful, bustling souks of Marrakech through the foothills of the High Atlas mountains into the spectacular, remote and colourful Anti Atlas mountains. Strange rock formations and ochre-coloured villages are the backdrop to the many climbs and descents that await us as we cycle towards the Atlantic coast. Coming out of the mountains, we head for the colourful walled town of Tiznit, renowned for its striking pink buildings.
