MD Bivouac: The hardest part begins

We have been away from home for 5 days now.Four of them enter the bivouac camp and here begins the most difficult part. I’m leaving Yanbutouring all over the country. Every time I step into a new place dakar That means travel. That’s the most tiring thing. He just finished you off. When you read these lines I’ll already be heading there AlUlanorth of Saudi Arabiawhich means colder nights, but also additional previous efforts that started this morning. As I write this article, I imagine what I will experience in a few hours. My alarm clock goes off at 5am. Hopefully after 3 hours of sleep.

In the middle of the night, we journalists pack up our tents, drenched in Yanbu’s humidity. My clothes are covered in mud and my hands are sore. I haven’t repeated the process in a year (I had to try it at home), but I have no doubt that it is difficult. that time will come Place the pillow in your bag and into another sleeping bag. and With my tent, bag, and mat slung over my shoulders and my computer backpack on my back, I drag my 30kg suitcase to the end of the bivouac, my eyes cloudy.to the bus that didn’t have to wait in about 10 minutes.

You have to get there no matter what. Once you arrive at the next bivouac, your bike will quickly arrive at the end of the stage, so you’ll have to work your way through the plane. There are no days off. But there is something even worse. As I wrote this line, I remembered that I forgot to pick up my suitcase. Everything is available in the store. I try to do that now, in the middle of the night, hoping that the suitcase will close and the zipper will close properly. Delicate work.
