Day 8: Walport to Charleston. Trip total: 945km

I had fair amount of climbing today as soon as I left Walport, which was slow going, but with a nice early start to the day, I didn't mind taking my time.

My IT Band issue came back with a vengeance, fortunately I was only about a dozen kilometres from Sunset Beach when it was at it's worse, so I did the responsible thing and found a nice dive bar in North Bend to wait it out and give my leg a chance to rest. Oddly, after a few beers my leg felt much better.

I lucked out at the campsite. The hiker/biker section was flooded, so they had a few tent sites designated for us. I got a site all to myself, right next to the creek.

My elevation chart today looked like an ecg reading

Another bridge with two lanes and no shoulder.should be fun.
