Hit 30s last night and I was only prepared for upper 40s. Picked up some bulky fleece things at a gift shop in Wilmington and strapped them to the top of my rear bag. Even with that there were times I feared for my life. It felt like a sick joke when I found the last 30 miles stretch was one of those trails that are not really trails. Only choice to bivy up and try to stay warm or keep going. Opted for latter and it look 2-3hrs longer than I thought it would. 26.5 hrs riding last days on 3hrs of sleep. Popped 5 spokes, bike doesn’t shift, bags held on by straps and ties, everything on bike is creaking. My knees may never recover. I think it was probably worth it.
