williamtash ~ that is cool that you did Bikefest! I rode sweep for the last 38 miles of the century. Everyone who did it seemed to have a blast! There were over 1000 riders, which was a record. We live 6.5 miles from where the ride started in Hillsborough. I know because I rode my bike over and back!

Glad you're keeping the Tarwheels in mind! Good luck with your ride to Oak Island. It should be flat, but you may run into some pretty decent wind. Hopefully not right in your face!
