  • Five years after circumnavigating the globe, Jon and Imran take on a new challenge; the pair set out to become the first men to cycle across the width of North Africa’s Maghreb, from Morocco in the west, through Algeria and Tunisia, to arrive at the gates of Libya. Follow the pair in the first of this two-part series as they travel through Morocco in the depths of winter and experience the people, the culture, and the beauty of the Atlas Mountains.

    Greetings from Canada. This route is on my list for...whenever the opportunity arises. It's really refreshing to see cycle touring captured in a realistic way. Besides the fine camerawork and narration, I most enjoyed the absence of shiny new expensive gear that is found in most adventures.
    I actually won't watch any that begin with an intro of thousands of dollars of free gear laid out on the floor, and include a link for every manufacturer that chipped in. The travelers always refer to them as 'partners' to make it sound like they didn't email them begging for free bikes and gear.
    Thanks again for documenting a real lived adventure.

    grazie per questo video che contribuisce alla pace nel mondo facendo conoscere il Magreb .
    La conoscenza è importantissima per costruire la cultura delle persone , credo che anche Jon ne sia uscito più ricco interiormente da questo viaggio .

      Thanks, and good shout, I’ll try make something regarding equipment in future. Equipment can be subjective but in a nutshell it’s just simply a bike, rack pannier bags and camping gear and just hitting hit the road and letting the script write itself. You will learn a lot from it.
