The last rest stop on Day 2 was just befor we got on NC route 50. It was hot. I was really tired. I was "limping" out of this rest stop when these four guys in a short pace line caught up with me. They had ridden the century the day before too. I fell in with them and we moved long pretty good. I did a long pull just before we reached Emerald Isle. We sort of broke apart when we reached the high bridge over the Inland Waterway. Once at the camp ground at the end of the ride I saw one of them and I said, "Thank you very much I needed you guys to get me here". He protested, no way, you pulled us. Wow, that made me feel good. Here I was an old 51 year old guy pulling a bunch of guys in their 20s and 30s.
