Day 6: Ait Ahmad – Ultimate Singletrack Descent
- The ultimate reward for your effort. Start with a peaceful climb and a short hike-a-bike to reach a ridge overlooking the valley. Then it’s all downhill—a legendary singletrack descent spanning everything from flowy curves to rocky technical sections. Ride through a dry riverbed full of slalom turns, bounce over boulders, and fly into your last adrenaline rush across a rickety wooden bridge.
