Amazing achievement. I’m looking forward to in 2025! Have you done Badlands?

[@colingoulding3227]

Excellent achievement, especially considering the stomach issues and not being able to eat for energy early doors. Signed up for a spot in 2025. Rewatched your videos and there is some really good info in there. Is the food poisoning and problem and could you provide some tips on training and the event if it’s not to trouble.

[@TorHovland]

Thanks! Just avoid salads, tap water, and other uncooked food while you are there. Even at the 5 star event hotel. I let my guards down there. Regarding training, it's pretty simple. Just ride as much as you can from now on. Take a comfortable bike with suspension and high volume tires. Be prepared for heat and cold, but you likely don't need a heavy duty sleeping bag. Don't know what your ambitions are, but if you just want to finish, making a schedule and then staying within that is arguably the best way to enjoy the ride. Good luck in Morocco!

Make sure you shop for candy in Marrakech. If you have some favourite energy bars, bring them. Also bring wet wipes, extra bib shorts, and anything else you might need to fight off saddle sores.

[@colingoulding3227]

Thanks for the tips. Is the event hotel included in the price or did you book that separately

[@TorHovland]

@@colingoulding3227 It's not included, but the price was reasonable, and there's also an event discount. Also plenty of alternatives nearby.

[@TorHovland]

Be strict about what you bring on the bike. It is so easy to take too much. Anything you're unsure about, you should probably leave behind. You will need some spare room in your bags for food, since food isn't always easily available. I tended to buy too little at shops because I had limited space. But then I had brought a musette that I never used!
