Has anyone took the ride to the outer banks of North Carolina? I'm thinking of going there for a weekend ride, but not sure if its somewhere that would be a nice bike trip  If not i may head down into Charlston
Thanks Guys

A woman at my office, her husband rides there all of the time. Given the fact that we live on the Charlotte border, it's a nice comfortable ride. Of course, he's one of those cocky Harley riders.
Seriously, I believe he rode there 4th of July and loved it. He bought a Navagation and cruised all the way there.

I live an hour or so from there, been known to make a lunch run to the Outer Banks. This time of year it's REALLY busy on the north end (Kitty Hawk, Duck, Corolla, etc.), south end should be less busy. Watch out for sand in the road.

dmfarms,
If you head down to Charleston, head south of the city on 17 and take the side routes toward the water. Rt. 174 toward Edisto Beach through Adams Run is a rather nice ride.

Soba, I may head that way, i was really looking for somewhere to go kinda quiet and it sounds like this is not the time of year to go to the outer banks afterall, but then again i guess all the beaches are crowded right now....any other quiet suggestions anyone

Depends on how far you wanna go, but my favorite low country beach is Hunting Island, South Carolina. It's east of Beufort on 21. It's a state park, so it's seldom crowded. There are no concessions per se. The beach is wide and clean. I've picked up starfish and conch shells and swum with the dolphins there. Looks like a tropical rainforest in places. Even has a lighthouse.
