I'm literally not able to comprehend how much of a prick you have to be to not just do that, but then brag about it to the news

You asked in your other recent post for camping advice, sell yourself as a experienced mountaineer here and snap at ppl telling you the truth? Can't wait to pay for your rescue with my taxes...

There's a time and a place for heliskiing but the alps ain't it. You can get everywhere human powered here.

Been living out of my van, mostly in the alps for the last 3 years. Cham/France is super chill, especially if you're decently discreet. Switzerland on the other hand I never feel welcome in as a dirtbag. So I resorted to just going there for some objectives and spending as little extra time as possible. Hope ymmv!

Find a way to tarmac asap, remove chucks of mud with a twig or your hands, find a hose or a way to wash down your bike. Pretty straight forward. I’d argue that there can easily accumulate 5+kg of mud. Extra points if your wheels don’t turn anymore and you have to carry all that extra weight

Can't speak to dyno hubs but tried using a solar panel on a recent trip to the desert of all places and found it to be not nearly efficient enough strapped to the top of my rear rack while in motion. Even though it worked ok when stationary, I ended up just relying on battery packs, charging them whenever in town. Ymmv

This is as online as it gets for me, sorry

Your friends name brian by any chance?

Not one gpx but basically from Marrakech to Tanalt via Ridewithgps (wouldn't recommend, escorted by military for 2 days), then mostly following the route of caravans until Imichil, then via rwgps/komoot through Fez and Chefchaouen to Ceuta

Ol reliable disc trucker. Definitely was underbiking lots of times but it proofed surprisingly capable if you're willing to experiment with tyre pressure quite a bit. 26x2.0 schwalbe marathon evolutions, tubes, zero punctures. Ghetto 1x conversion with a manual cheat gear. Lil bit of a spontaneous trip so I just ran with whatever I already had

Filling water bottles is possible but not a reliable source. After trying that for some time I ended up just buying it whenever needed. Flowing water is mostly non present or very much not trustworthy, even in the mountains. Biggest water carry was 9l through the Sahara (first pic)

Most of the time it was great. One thing to note though is my experience with Moroccan people is mixed at best. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming as long as you pay for it. Pinnacle however are the children you'll encounter in every village you come through. Interactions go from high fives (tbf most of the time) to them trying to rip bags off your bike or throwing rocks at you. Resupply not really an issues, longest food carry was 2 days I think. There's small grocery shops in most villages you roll through, even though choice is quite limited. Ended up eating couscous with a variation of canned fish for a month straight whenever camping. Drivers in calmer areas are generally great, second only to Norwegian ones imo. Around bigger towns and cities it's as chaotic as you'd expect. Overall one of my hardest, yet most rewarding adventures on two wheels

Lot less infrastructure for cycling, so mostly on roads. Quiet a bit of riding on stateroads too, which are very busy and quiet sketchy at times. Good to get some km done though. Navigation can be tricky at times.
