Found scales! Our 2nd weigh-in of the trip: Huw’s lost 38 kgs since March 09, Bex 22 kgs (Bex drinks beer; Huw doesn’t…) #cycling #fb
Sorry for long silence – been cycling through Sierra Leone / Liberia to Monrovia. Lots of news but first, lots of sleep. Happy new year!
Going away from mobile signal (recording on Tiwai Island, Sierra Leone). May be gone a while – so happy festive thingies!
On the road again. We’ll see if we can get more than 40kms before this wheel implodes too. #fb
Bikes vs Sierra Leone roads #3 tomorrow – Huw’s overhauled the hub & built a a(nother) wheel. Hopefully, next update won’t be about bikes :)
Bike-fixing. Another broken wheel stranded us in a (lovely) village til Huw managed to mend a car (with cardboard) to get us to a town.
A good day: the harmattan started blowing, ending the sweaty season, & we finally left the Freetown peninsula and reached rural Sierra Leone
