"load the bikes on the train at Nouadhibou"
Well it certainly used to be possible, but I seem to remember someone posting recently that they've stopped doing it. Hopefully somone with up to date info will be along shortly. If you're interested I've put a short piece of video footage taken from the train 2- 3 miles outside Choum on youtube. Search for "choum"
The piste from Choum to Atar is pretty straightforward even without much off road experience. It took us an easy 7 - 8 hrs with frequent stops.
The route to Nouakchott is good tarmac and easily done in a day
