Cycling Nomads<p>We woke up very early to a perfect weather—clear skies, sunshine, and no wind. Excited to finally cycle toward the snow-capped mountains we had seen in the distance the day before. We ordered some tea, made oatmeal porridge, and took some local bread for the road. We said goodbye to the guys in the restaurant who had hosted us, and even the policeman stopped by to wish us a good journey. <br>Back on the road, we took a right at the roundabout onto a smaller road toward Midelt. It felt so good. <br>We only made few kilometers, when I heard a familiar sound—one I definitely didn’t want to hear. I stopped, checked my bike, and saw a broken spoke. This was bad news. In all our years of cycling, I had never broken a spoke, and now it had happened twice. It really felt like something was trying to keep us from moving forward. I called Mirko, who was already a few kilometers ahead. When he returned, I broke the bad news to him.<br>With no other choice, we turned around and cycled back to the restaurant once again. Finding high-quality spokes in Morocco wouldn’t be easy, and I also needed a skilled mechanic with experience in building a Rohloff wheel properly. We decided to head to Guercif, where we could find a place to stay and research our options. We were needed to find some spare spokes so we could temporarily fix the wheel. <br>There weren’t many accommodation options in the city, but we managed to find the only reasonably priced hotel and got a lovely room on the first floor. The staff was very kind— even bringing us a gas bottle so we could cook. <br> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/touring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>touring</span></a> <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></p>
