100km in 2 days

Yesterday around 7am I left Bambey for Thies... on my bike. The ride to Thies wasn't too bad and I had the sun at my back which made it easier. As soon as I hit Thies, however, it was hitting a wall of pollution. Unfortunately I got a little lost but eventually Alyssa found me and we went back to her house. After a refreshing gatorade (provided by my outstanding host), I took a bucket bath and we ate an AMAZING lunch. Then, of course, we watched some Gossip Girl. A little later we met up with Jackie and had Chicken Dibi. Unfortunately after dinner my dehydration (totally my fault) hit.

Alyssa and I got up this morning and, even though everyone in her house thinks I'm crazy, I got on my bike to get back to site. The way back was a LOT harder than the first time. It took me about 30mins longer and I got burned on my forearms. No matter, it was a good trip and I'm glad I did it.

The rest of the day was just continuous re-hydrating. Tomorrow I'll get back to work!
