Photo: Why is Patricia carrying a tree on her bike?
From David: January 19 2007(connection 180 km, special 260 km, connection 18km)
Well, I have managed to get online here in Dakar. I'm impressed that the hotel has broadband because they do not yet have any roads with tarmac on, street lights, or much else.....and is it the traditional Senagalese welcome to be jumped on by 100 taxi drivers as you come out of the airport???
I have had a very limited debrief on yesterdays stage from Patricia - mainly because she called me at 6am this morning and I was still asleep. The unedited version of the debrief on yesterdays stage is as follows "Yes, it was fine". Other evidence backs up this succinct description, as she came in 69th for the days stage - another excellent placing. We can only assume the new engine performed well.
I am sure I will receive a much fuller description of today's stage, as I will meet Patricia face-to-face when she arrives in Dakar. Hopefully I will be able to get on line again and send another update.
Today's stage, as they head towards Dakar, is a connection of 124km, special 225km, connection 227km. Tomorrow, the final day, is an "out and back" from Dakar around the Lac Rose.
