Done. Not an awesome start. We got off 3 hours late due to a busted
wheel and tire. We hoped to get to greenville but ended up in
Williamston. Tumultuous winds coupled with Lee's discomfort on a new
bike caused a rough start. We met some people when asking for some zip
ties. A few hours later, I was resting flat on my back after snacking
at a stop sign. A couple pulled up and asked where we were going and
said they had just left their father's who coincidentally gave us zip
ties. Small world.
Lee bonked around mile 85. He chugged a soda and kept pushing. We
pulled into town just at sundown at mile 95. Being so late and so
tired, we chowed down on pizza.
We are camped out near the river. Raleigh tomorrow.
