Saying Goodbye to the Adventure of a Lifetime!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- The time has come for us to cycle the last stretch of our epic journey through Morocco. Some gorgeous roads still remain with a rocky backcountry approach to the High Atlas. We find the road less travelled up to the the highest paved pass in the country, the 'Tizi n' Tichka', at 2260m. After a nice downhill we decide to take one last detour which turns out to be very demanding but totally worth it! Back to Marrakech, where the traffic is crazy and needs some careful navigation before we pack the bikes and head out to the airport. An adventure of a lifetime has come to an end!

Hi Everyone! This is the last video in our series 'Bikepacking Morocco'. Thank you for following along and all the wonderful comments you left us during this fantastic trip 🙏🏼 Wishing you all very the best, E&M
Loved the whole journey ☺️
It’s just amazing that you allowed us to travel with you.
Out of all the videos on TH-cam about Morocco these are my favorite. You showed the beauty and overcoming difficulties. I am impressed. Take good care of yourselves and I look forward to your new adventures.👍👍👍
Those Dates must have been delicious ... what a great energy food to be cheap and plentiful
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures over the years cannot wait for more stay safe 😊❤
Thank you so much for taking us with you through Morocco! The local hospitality you shared with us was legendary.
Thanks Professor G & to the wonderful Moroccan people! Best wishes, E&M
Maudi and Eric, what a pleasure to hear (and see) you both every time you post a video. it's like getting a letter from an old friend. puts a smile on my face. What ever lays ahead, stay safe and be happy.
Thank you so much for taking us along on your trips. I am happy I can see these spectacular places through your eyes.
Thank you too 🙏🏼 Happy to hear you enjoyed it! All the best, E&M
I am blown away. I thought your Iceland trip was great but this was even better. Magnificent. And not (yet) a hint of where next ;-). Your videos bring amazing experiences and joy to many. Thank you. You put so much of your feelings in the video it feels like I know you. So what can trump this adventure …
Thank you so much for your kind words Joseph 😊 Iceland was great and we would like to return someday but somehow this was even more special. Perhaps the wonder hospitality of the Moroccan people! Best wishes, E&M
I enjoyed following this amazing trip throughout. Hats off to you both. Safe home.
🙏🏼 Thanks so much Norman! All the best, E&M
I haven't commented in a while but this Morocco tour has been amazing and the quality of your videos has been like watching a very professional documentary. Thank you both so much for taking us along. ✌
These are such well-made videos: The drama has a sense of difficulty & wit & warmth & challenge and, in this, closure- thanks partly to the fine closing medley. The cinematography shows lots of care in both filming and editing, including with fine shots from distance to give context (also helped by good maps). Both your voices, in separate commentary and in dialog, guide us truly well. Thanks & congratulations!
Thank you for sharing your adventures. You two are amazing. 👍🙂🚴♂️🚴♀️
Thank you Brian 😊🙏🏼 All the Best, E&M
Wow! How inspiring! Thank you for showing us this landscape!

Wow the scene compilation at the end gave me goosebumps! I went to Morocco twice and can totally relate. Such a beautiful, magical place, both the landscapes and the people.
Wow! Cool to hear 😊 Such a beautiful place. Thanks & Best wishes!
Wow, what a ride. I'm glad you both made it through without too much difficulty. That was more than I would want to endure. Excellent video work makes it so much more enjoyable to watch. 🇨🇦

You really summarized what you experienced during your time in Morocco and it gave me goosebumps watching it! Thank you for bringing us along on your journeys and for being such great ambassadors of humanity!

That is wonderful to hear! Lovely you look back on your time in Morocco so fondly 😊 All the best, E&M
Eric and Maudi, what a gift to share your adventures with the world. You always capture those things that matter, from the epic landscapes to the smallest flower. Men, women, children, families, lifestyles, creatures. I appreciate that you seek and embrace the road less traveled, both literally and figuratively. Can't wait to see where your next adventure takes you (if you come to the US, you've got a place to rest in Galveston)! Take care, Renee P.S. why did the chicken cross the road...😉
Greetings from David, Malaysia! As many others had commented,I fully concur with their positive comments and just how much of happiness,your videos had brought to us, viewers in the comfort of our daily homes,while the both of you,are facing challenges,daily!

Thanks Guys 😊 Happy to hear you enjoyed our little country! All the Best, E&M

Abit sad - I started following you guys in Morocco. Now we say goodbye to this amazing country ! Travel safe and may the next trip be even more rewarding. My best.
Thank you so much Henry 😊 All the Best, E&M
Beautiful as always. Thank you both so much for bringing your experiences into our lives. I have been to Morocco but your films make it even better than I remember! 😀🏆
I've been to Morocco a dozen times and yet, I have only seen a tenth of what you did. It just shows, that the road less travelled is the best.
What an amazing adventure - thanks for taking us along!
Wonderful video once again! I am already looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers from Duitsland!
Thanks for taking us along! Your future is bright! All the best
Thank you too 😊 🙏🏼

Hi adventurers. What a journey again. C'est incroyable. I read a lot of comments already so don't know what to say more. Hat off again. Chapeau. Wish you all the best and I'll be looking forward to your next amazing adventure.

Ha, mooi dat te horen! Heel veel plezier en succes voor je volgende reis 🍀
Please, tell me why my buttocks hurt so bad on long rides? What gear or remedy in your opinion is good for relief? 😂 thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Please dont stop keeping in touch with more videos. You both have become our kin.❤

Thank you 🌻
You too Vive 🙏🏼😊
I wish you success in my country and good hospitality ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 All the Best, E&M
Tears. Now, the only Mule-biker channel I still watch. Others have gone dark. Proof right here that there ARE good people out there , despite what "they" (and who is they , you may ask?) will tell you. Yeah, Eric looks classically (but happily!) cycle-lean and tanned- weatherbeaten, while Maudi glows the usual happy and sweet camper- groove. Okay. maybe time to go to Belize and drink margaritas, and plan yet the next impossible challenge. unbelievable camera work , with new "fish eye" Eric 'round the bend shot. Loved that.
I have loved to see these videos of your time in Morocco. Thank you and good luck for the future.
Thanks 🙏🏼😊 All the Best, E&M
Fantastic video as always👌👍
Thanks so much Matt 😊 All the Best, E&M
The both of you HAD enjoyed more of Morocco within a short span of time,compared to me,having worked with Toyota Du Maroc for nearly 4 years,based in Casablanca. Really happy to follow your adventure and the amazing way to load up and tie up 2 big boxes with bicycles on the roof rack of that Renault taxi,was "cute"!. Bon Voyage and have a safe trip home.
A cracking adventure and testiment to you both. Looking forward to the next one.
What everyone else says. The best thing on TH-cam, and good luck to you both.
Thanks so much Bernie 🙏🏼😊 All the Best, E&M
Thank you! I love your videos. So inspiring! Cheers from N. California.
Thank you so much for sharing videos I'm proud of you because your advinture in Morocco is best riding i hope more videos and ride safe ♥️👍🙏💪
He Eric and Maudie,
Daniel from Germany here. Thanks for taking me with you! Am going to Morocco as well in two weeks and will spend one month travellling and hiking there! Your experiences look really amazing!
Some critical thoughts though:
There is an ongoing problem about Europeans "heroising" people from the Global South as "super welcome", "warm at heart" and so on.
To some degree this may be true, but it is not because they naturally "are" this way, but rather because they are also shaped by their social environment, which, as you could see, is quite hard when it comes to earning a living. People need to rely on each other and have to help out in order to get helped out too, when times are rough.
Just wanted to point this out, because from the comments in this series I got the assumption that some of your followers may unthinkingly come to the conclusion, that we in the industrialised countries are that way while Moroccons are the other way... Some critical words on that topic would have been nice, if you ever thought about this problem too.
Another thing I was asking myself is if you considered taking the train to Morocco. Am going to travel from Germany in two weeks and we pay 190 Euros one way (2 Nights along the way and ferry included). It is much less CO2 Pollution and I am only pointing this out, since you are TH-camrs and own responsibility for your community.
Would have been great, if you had talked about this topic too.
Last thing: Have you ever made a video on how you manage to take time to do these journeys? For most people it is impossible since you only get 30 days of vacation a year when you are doing wage labor. Do you resign fron your jobs and look for new ones when you come back?
My critic is not meant to be personal. Love your videos and you seem to be nice people!
Greets,
Daniel
Hi Daniel! Everyone is a mirror of his/her environment, character and as such differences between people and local culture will arise. We share our experiences as we go along and try not to be polarising about it. There is enough division in the world as it is. We have several videos taling about our budget and how we managed to stay out for as long as we did. I guess 'frugal' would sum it up in one word. Have a great stay in Morocco!!
Simply the best! 😊
🙌🏼 Thanks so much Michael 😊
Wish you best of luck,I always wait to watch your next venture. Stay 🙌
Great!
Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. From a fellow cyclist in Tennessee USA
