Day 7: Wasila to ??

I still have a sore leg. I experienced this twice before, and know what will happen if I keep riding. I prepared myself by riding at least two hrs every two days, and it seems not enough for this heavy bike. Perhaps it takes me a few days to get used to it.

There is a couple hosting cycling traveler 100 km away north. I decide to ask them to let me stay at their place for 1 or 2 day. I thought it would be easy to get there in 1 day, but I just went 40 km until noon. I probably could get there by 8 pm, but it is not wise to overuse my leg just in order to rest my leg.

I camped under a bridge in case it rains (it would have been better if I had camped somewhere I could enjoy sunlight). The river was not clean, so I had to ask for water again. I found a girl and ask her to fill water for me. 1 minute later, her mother came out and asks if I am just a passerby. I guess she doesn’t trust me. Anyway, I get what I want.
River is not clean, I don't dare to try.

Mileage today 57km
Total mileage 127km
