Cycling Nomads<p>Not long after leaving Taourirt, we noticed a car following us again. It was almost funny how they tried to make it seem like they weren’t—driving slowly behind us, then stopping to let us gain some distance, only to start following us again. It was the police. I heard that in this region, it’s quite common for them to keep an eye on travelers. <br>Dark clouds surrounded us, and in the distance, we could see freshly fallen snow on the mountains ahead—a breathtaking sight against this arid desert landscape.<br>At the next gas station, we stopped for a tea break and noticed that the car following us suddenly turned around and left—probably because we had exited their area. Exhausted from cycling against the wind, we looked for a place to rest but found none, so we decided to keep going.<br>The storm seemed to be moving in and daylight was fading, we reached a crossroads where we would turn toward Midelt and the mountains. We stopped at a small roadside restaurant for tea and food and asked the owners if we could camp in their garden. They were very kind and welcomed us to stay.<br>Soon, a different policeman arrived. He was very friendly and asked if we needed anything. When we told him we planned to sleep in the garden, he instead arranged for us to sleep inside the restaurant. He even gave us his phone number in case we needed anything during the night.<br>We drank more tea and waited for the restaurant to close. Once it did, we set up our sleeping spot on the first floor, grateful for the warmth and shelter.<br><a href="https://f.cz/tags/cycletouring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycletouring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/wanderer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wanderer</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/exploring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exploring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycle</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/bicycletouring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycletouring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/adventurecycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventurecycling</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/cyclinglife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyclinglife</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/cyclingnomads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyclingnomads</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/traveldiaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>traveldiaries</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/biketouringforever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketouringforever</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/pedalpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pedalpower</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/travelstories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>travelstories</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/travelbybike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>travelbybike</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/bikewander" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikewander</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/bikelife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikelife</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/biketouring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketouring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/fromwhereiride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fromwhereiride</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/worldbycycling%C3%B9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worldbycyclingù</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/worldbybike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worldbybike</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/pedaljourneys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pedaljourneys</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/humanpoweredadventures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanpoweredadventures</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/neverstopexploring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neverstopexploring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/biketocamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketocamp</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/worldbycycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worldbycycling</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/biketouringmike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketouringmike</span></a></p>

Cycling Nomads<p>We made our way to Taourirt, a small town just a few kilometers from the gas station where we had spent the night. Needing to restock on supplies. We stopped for coffee and breakfast. But just as we were about to set off again, the wind picked up, and dark storm clouds rolled in.</p><p>Realizing the weather was only getting worse, we checked out the town’s two hotels and decided to stay at Hotel Riad in the main square. Our room was simple but spacious, with a balcony and a good hot bucket shower. What we thought would be just an overnight stop turned into a longer stay—more bad weather was on the way. After a few days of crazy winds and rain we were happy to hit the road again. It felt special to witness rain in the desert—a rare and beautiful sight. <a href="https://f.cz/tags/cycletouring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycletouring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/wanderer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wanderer</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/exploring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exploring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycle</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/bicycletouring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycletouring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/adventurecycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventurecycling</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/cyclinglife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyclinglife</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/cyclingnomads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyclingnomads</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/traveldiaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>traveldiaries</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/biketouringforever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketouringforever</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/pedalpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pedalpower</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/travelstories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>travelstories</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/travelbybike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>travelbybike</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/bikewander" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikewander</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/bikelife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikelife</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/biketouring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketouring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/fromwhereiride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fromwhereiride</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/worldbycycling%C3%B9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worldbycyclingù</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/worldbybike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worldbybike</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/pedaljourneys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pedaljourneys</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/humanpoweredadventures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanpoweredadventures</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/neverstopexploring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neverstopexploring</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/biketocamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketocamp</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/worldbycycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worldbycycling</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/biketouringmike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketouringmike</span></a></p>
