Atlantic Coast: Phase Two Day 11 (Kinston to Rocky Mount NC)

This morning is cool, in the mid-40’s.  Winds are from the north at 8 sustained 20 gusts.  My route says that hills today are more substantial than previous days.

I cycled through historic small towns such as Hookerton and Maury.  Because of the greater number and height of the hills (and riding against the wind), I took many more breaks. Climbing hills against the wind is double the fun from a fitness perspective.  But my legs handled the moderate hills with relative ease.

I didn’t stop to take any pictures today.  I did capture this video of my biking flag:

Frankly, today was what cyclists would call a hard ride.  I was glad when it was over.

Today’s tally: 63 miles.
