Othello – From Dades Valley to Todra Gorge
What a day! In setting up Othello in Morocco we wanted to cover the great known locations but also break new ground for bike touring beyond just crossing the country and the Atlas Mountains multiple times!

Dear Riders,
I am writing this to you from Córdoba in southern Spain. Bruno and I are scouting for our Othello 2021 Odyssey from Marrakech to Porto. The streets are certainly quiet! But this of all cities tells a historical lesson about what the world is going through and what may be ahead.
A rider with us before. A friend, a comrade in the saddle, as brave as a lion. We want to support the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse who supported Richie and his family through their toughest times and make a difference to a very worthy cause. Please read Richie’s words below….
It is on again, the 8th Berry Challenge. This year another new circuit!
Isn’t history dead? Why do you think it’s important?
History helps us understand who we are, why we behave as we do, and why we live in the world that we do – the modern world that we have created. The past is not inhabited with strangers but our relatives – people just like us who are waiting to be discovered and hoping to be understood. All you’ve got to do is to look in the right places and to ask the right questions and it’ll change the way that you think about the past – and the present – forever.
