In October of 2011 I began a bicycle trip from London, England to Saint-Louis, Senegal. The journey itself took almost four months and then I lived in Saint-Louis for a couple months afterward. You can see my initial route plan on the 2011-2012 bike trip initial plan page and a map of the actual places I spent the night on the 2011-2012 bike trip actual route page. Or if you just want to browse photos, try the photo album.
I wrote my initial thoughts and expectations in The Plan. The rest of the trip is documented on the mapped entries below.
And here is a chronological list of those mapped posts.
