Folks, do you have anything of note in your area?

To you it is old hat, but to the rest of us it is scenery of interest.

We don't need much of an excuse to get together -- last trip was to Mayberry to honor the memory of an old TV program for goodness sakes!

Pick something -- anything.

We should have a "piddly scenery" contest and ride to the worst case winner.

Fayetteville has the Airborne museum downtown. It has an old slave market downtown too, for those who like historical landmarks.

The Crystal Coast has a lot more to offer than that. Here is a picture of the not so shabby view from the top of the bridge leading out to Cedar Island. I took this last month while on vacation out at Harkers Island.

If the meeting spot was somewhere close to central NC we could put in a ride to Morrow Moutain State Park. http://www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/momo/main.php Morrow mtn is really beautiful in the fall. There are a lot of good back roads around that area that make for a good ride also.

I am free to ride most any Saturday or Sunday afternoon except the 24th & 25th of Oct.

NC coast is full of good rides, but you have to get off Hwy 70!

The aquarium is super cool, and has a neat walking trail and lots of places to park the bike. There are loads of good seafood restaurants too.
Fort Macon is a good bike ride, great views, nice fort history museum too.
Beaufort and Oriental are good rides too, crossing the ICW several times and end at great views, beach and good food.

New Bern itself is under massive road construction right now, so I will not recommend my town until that is finished in Jan 2010 for our 300 year anniversary. If you do want to brave the dust, see below...

As for events - pick one!
Oct 10-11 MumFest, New Bern
Oct 22-24 Ghostwalk, New Bern
Oct 16-17 Chili Festival, Havelock
Oct 23 Lobster Fest, New Bern
Oct 16-17 Folk Festival, Oriental
Neuse River Race, Oriental

I am planning on riding from Greensboro, NC to Meadows of Dan, Va on Sunday 10-18-09. Stopping there for lunch, then taking a short ride north on the BRP (Blue Ridge Parkway), then returning to Meadows of Dan and then back towards Greensboro, NC.

This is a good little day ride. Its 77+/- miles from G-boro to Meadows of Dan. I would plan on putting 200 miles round trip there and back counting a short ride up the BRP.

I am hpoing for sunny skies (heck cloudy and rain free is OK also) for this Sunday. If its better than 50% chance for rain I will postpone my trip.

I hope to get a warm sunny weekend to drive down NC way, maybe go through the Outer Banks. Just head out with no particular place to go. Some of the event s Skat mentioned may be good.
