55 miles from Bell’s Island Campground in Carrituck, SC to
Nags Head, SC. The view at the beginning
of the ride was fabulous. Much of the
route was east on Route 158, a heavily traveled road. ACA managed to use some alternative routes
despite the proximity to the water.
Those roads were less traveled, well-shaded and passed through beautiful
land. Changing directions also provided
relief to the headwinds that were prevalent all day. There were lots of hunters out and I saw
three geese drop from the sky after hearing a volley of shots. Crossing the Wright Memorial Bridge was a
white-knuckle experience. The west-bound
bridge was closed, so there was 2-way traffic with no shoulder. The bridge is really long. I had rested, stretched, and eaten so I was
able to pedal furiously, but I was exhausted when I got to the end.Once I got into Kill Devil Hills, the wind
was brutal. Every mile was torture. It was a relief to stop Hopefully, we won’t have a head wind all the
way down the barrier island. We are staying at Cape Hatteras KOA.
