Bike Touring USA REACCT Day 28 - The Hsawaknow.
good morning get rekt for recovery crew so it's day 28 of the redeeming eden cycle tour r-e-c-t get wrecked for recovery a bicycle trip up the atlantic coast of america to raise awareness that there are addiction recovery options available that you don't have to die in your addiction there's churches celebrate recoveries and rescue missions all over the nation all over the world that just want to help you talk to you and love you if you find yourself bound by addiction so yeah a really really good day i was able to get in the light in here in the restroom and look at all my bruises and kind of check everything over this is a picture of my hip so yeah that is pretty rough and this is a picture of the inside of my left leg uh where my left leg hit the bar when i fell the uh top tube and then this is of course a picture of my arm that you guys have already seen so yeah i had no idea like that i had hit that hard um i knew it hurt i knew all those parts hurt but i didn't i never bruise like i'm sure christy can drop a comment i never bruise ever like i i hit myself hard sometimes so i guess the wreck was a little bit harder than what i thought it was maybe adrenaline kind of carried me through it but i'm starting to kind of see that god has given me these few days to really just rest these hurts um and so i'm thankful for that i had no idea i like i haven't really paid too much attention to it haven't been in really you know like lighting where i've uh focused on it but the really bright white lights in this bathroom you know showed me how much damage i took in that fall anyway yeah so i am about to get on the road i'm going to go to the walmart i've got to go over the intercoastal talk to tracy snyder this morning and we've kind of looked at about where he's going to meet up here in north carolina north carolina state number 15. i'm like six miles away i was way closer than i thought it was um and yeah he's gonna meet up with me later on probably five four or five days from now uh and i'm going to keep moving yeah this is uh this is you know really kind of nice to be getting out of south carolina but i don't know what north carolina holds as far as roadways however i will be leaving the east coast greenway and heading out to the outer banks and i'm pretty much not going to be on the east coast greenway again for the next two months of the ride i'm going to loop back to it after i come through new york that's assuming that i have time to do all of that trip i still haven't mapped out that mileage and looked but i think that i'll be able to kind of make that left hook to lake erie anyway in order to do that i have got to get on the road and today uh matt crosston who is at the beginning of each video singing uh from our ends of the earth cycle ride uh key west bike ride 2021 that i'm still on um you know he uh released his album be brave today uh wherever you stream your music so go check it out be brave by matt crossin i will have it on repeat all day today and uh yeah this is uh this is an exciting day the winds have shifted uh they're starting to come back out of the south uh it was really cool i got to see the rocket launch this morning the uh crew dragon uh by spacex uh and here i'll show that to you real quick all right so i got up early this morning to watch this the uh crew dragon the four astronauts go into the space station from kennedy space center that just launched this is super cool david and i were talking about this just last night uh that you can see it and so when i you know looked up when the next launch was there it goes how cool is that i watched the stuck in the stage from the window and came downstairs here it is cold so yeah that was uh incredible i woke up early you know david and i were talking about that last night before last uh down on the beach he just said you know it's neat because you don't think about the rocket being right overhead here so far away but it is it comes right over the coast and so i looked up rocket launches and it just so happened to be quite serendipitously that there was one launching tonight and with the perfectly clear air everything was great for the for the viewing i got to watch the stages separate from the window at the end of the hallway and when they did i was like i've got to go film that so i got on the elevator and went downstairs but yeah gonna get on the road gonna um push on into north carolina and then just make it as far as i can try to get 40 miles and see how that works for me and you guys will see more of that right about now all right so uh hang on one sec i've got some junk on my um lens here oh yeah that's much better it's amazing how much difference you know a little bit of junk will make on the uh camera lens there i'm really having to learn a lot of uh stuff with this videography thing that i do so yeah i know um state number 15 north carolina yes lord oh i'm so excited this is cool this is so cool like i am so ready to be out of that last state david worley i love you i love your state but i really did dislike the roads and i'm hoping that there's a change i've already got like 18 inches of uh kind of bike lane and uh and no shoulders and just white lines so so far so good we'll see how that holds up just spoke to tracy uh snyder on the phone and they're actually gonna come meet me tomorrow morning and ride before i get to the outer banks and then they're going back uh so yeah i'm so excited about that but in order to get there i've got to leave here but this is cool state number 15 north carolina let's go so all right so i had to get some ice cream i rolled into the ice cream shop here uh it's off the main highway that i'm traveling and they've got like just big ice cream cone out by the road and umbrellas and you know i'm not usually like a sweets guy i it doesn't usually appeal to me uh to get sweets i like protein carbs those kind of things i'm just coca-cola is my thing uh anyway so i came up to the door and on the sign that said cash only and i don't have any cash left i've spent my last twenty dollars on my haircut uh you know i've got donations through cards but like that that was it for my cash i haven't made like an atm visit or anything uh so i sat down right here outside i was like well thank you anyway and uh they have an electrical outlet and uh the lady came outside her name's kim and she's like would you like a scoop of ice cream where are you traveling to and so i gave her a sticker for the youtube channel and she brought me a mint chocolate chip cone which is super cool and while i was standing here she was like you cannot you can get one of the chairs but that um that outlet doesn't work i said well it's powering it she goes oh my gosh that's right i rented it out yesterday it's turned on it does work now it's like perfect timing so yeah i'm gonna sit here charge my phone check out facebook uh and yeah get back on the road so good stuff love you guys see you later all right so i just stopped here at the post office in shalok north carolina to mail some of my stuff home my usual culling about once every thousand miles or so uh and yeah got that sent off now i've got to go find a car wash for the bike and then keep on heading on down the road i'm trying to get to oak island i don't know if i'll make it there or not but that's my goal all right love you guys see you later hey grandpa what was that we just went through is that japanese no that's wonka war spelled backwards yeah that was seriously no joke some willy wonka machine type stuff that foam brush was just squirting foam all over me i had phone behind my ears anyway now i'm going to subway uh because now i've got to eat and uh it's like 5 17 5 30 so i'm gonna have to figure out where i'm gonna end up while i'm sitting here and you guys will see more of that right about now all right so yeah as you can see there uh all the turns have been very very well marked in north carolina i didn't really see very many east coast greenway signs at all in south carolina georgia was well marked florida they were kind of hard to find but you could find them uh the roads have been 50 50 so far sometimes you know it's a little bit of this but they're very very highly marked bicycles share the road um more often than not they've got this little section that you see here that you can ride in it's not necessarily a bike lane i've seen a few with a little bicycle guy with his little helmet on but most of north carolina so far has been calming and comfortable so yeah i had that kind of like multi-stop event there walmart got the bike degreaser so i could clean the bike so that it'll rain sometime soon went to the post office mailed stuff home so everything would fit in the bike went over and washed the bike and then went in eight subway so it put me kind of behind but at the same time um it's getting the sunset it's setting later so i've actually got to like 7 39 or something before the sun sets which then i've even got 30 more minutes of twilight which would be like 8 39 i mean 8 uh 09. and uh yeah it's 6 30 right now so i should make it all the way in and that'll put me right at 50 miles per hour what a beautiful treat and then i'll kind of know a little bit more uh where did phil tracy i'm going to be at speaking of that he is calling right now so let me answer that and you guys will see more of this road in time warp by gopro all right so that's it for the day i found a nice little section of woods here next to a cell tower uh i didn't want to end up going down to the beach the sun's setting pretty quick as you can see behind me here and uh i didn't want to get down there in a populated area and find out that the sign on the beach said you know no camping or whatever most of the time that's because people like to set up fires and i never build a fire so i understand it but anyway uh yeah i found this little spot it's just off the ecg so it shouldn't be too bad just to be here for the night i'll be up early in the morning anyway tracy i talked to them they are on their way out as we speak they should be in the area around 10 30 tonight uh so yeah just a really exciting day got a lot done the bike is just in beautiful condition i used the sprayer but i only like sprayed hard on the frame i never sprayed hard on the bearings or anything like that because i just you know i'm weary of getting water inside of those parts i hate using a um a pressure washer it's just there's so much pressure to them but i was as careful as i could and everything's fine all the electronics are fine so i think i did all right anyway i'm gonna end the video here i'm getting a little bit chilly uh so i'm gonna go hop in my sleeping bag and start cutting and editing this video for you guys tonight luckily i've got a great service right here so yeah it shouldn't uh shouldn't take too long at all to get this one out but uh if you know
