Bicycle route advice : Dakar -> Bissau
Hello folks !
Me and a good friend will be cycling from Dakar to Guinea Bissau in a few weeks. As for our route I was thinking maybe you guys could suggest some ideas regarding the most scenic options.
Our rough ideas were to take a minibus out of Dakar to avoid the big city hussle and then start heading down to Banjul, then Zinguinchor and then on to Bissau.
We carry full camping and cooking equipment and would prefer less busy roads and mainly bush camping. My folding-bicycle has 20 inch wheels though so the pistes shouldn´t get too rough for too long, I don´t mind sandy bits though.
Any recommendations which parts not to miss / roads to avoid or where to make a detour would be highly appreciated, we have 3 weeks time for the journey and planning to also go to the Bijagos islands in the end for a couple of days.
Cheers,
Chris
