Southeast - Roll Call- Carolinas- N+S

If you think that is strange, the African-American's on the Sea Islands developed their own language after they were abandoned and isolated from the rest of the world. It's called Gullah and has become a recognized language of it's own. There was a children's TV show on Nickleodon from 1994-1998 called Gullah Gullah Island and produced locally here.

That and we all know we talk a little funny down here.

I loves me some Gullah food. 'At's jes' plain ol' soul food, out-n-out. :D

Another rider from Spartanburg, SC

Bull City

Heh. I went to school with a "RHawkins," but evidently not the same one. ;)

Hey, Bull City rep! I used to go out and catch Bulls games when I was a grad student at NCSU! :beer:

Charlotte here

Hey, sraphe, let us NC/SC roadies know if there's any possibility we can bring you over to the dark side. :D Maybe at least cyclocross to start? ;)

I'll iterate: I'm in the University area. All you CLT folks, just rep your general CLT areas, mmkay? Thanks!

I ride and skate the streets of Wilmington.

Here in North Myrtle Beach, waiting for the season to end.

You mean the season ends? :eek:

No one ever tells me what's goin on! And I've been riding mountain bikes on weekday evenings, and riding road bikes on weekends all year round. Man, am I out of it! :)

Union County, NC - just SE of Charlotte

Perhaps he means when the beach tourism season ends?
Myself, I'm looking forward to tights weather in south Union County;)

Asheville daily commuter

And no, the season NEVER ends...

Boone for school, with the occasional visit back to Cary during breaks.

born and bred in greensboro. livin' in da norf now though. i get down there quite a bit though.

I'm from Cary mostly doing the weekend morning ride routines. Ridin' a Trek Pilot 5.0. Plan to keep it up through the winter.

I'm a complete "newbie" at 50 yrs young....Living in G'ville, SC.

Marshall, NC. I'm looking out the window at Mt. Mitchell to the east northeast, Asheville to the south and Mt. Pisgah to the southwest. I climb at about 5mph.

I am another one from Greenville SC. As much as people were bashing it early in the thread, I think it is a great place to have a bike. I am a converted mt. biker that just picked up my first road bike a couple weeks ago. You can go south (foutain inn & simpsonville) for some nice rolling hills and straights or head north and challenge yourself with some mts. Paris mt is a great place when you only have time for 20 miles or so & then the run to Saluda is great when you are looking for something in the 40 mile range.

Hey hey ---- right here in central NC ------ Asheboro aka Zooland. Lp

Charlotte, SouthPark area to be specific... VV, ever make it down our way?

Hey, sraphe, let us NC/SC roadies know if there's any possibility we can bring you over to the dark side. :D Maybe at least cyclocross to start? ;)

I'll iterate: I'm in the University area. All you CLT folks, just rep your general CLT areas, mmkay? Thanks!

Vega: I just sent PM's to the other Charlotte peeps that have chimed in here requesting 'honest, unbiased insight' into the area.

I'd like to ask you the same questions, but can't...

Oh well. ;)

Wilmington here

Live in Little River SC..SC/NC border. Love this time of year! Perfect weather. Ride every morning 7am off 179

Spartanburg, SC here. Home (starting point) of the Assault on Mt. Mitchell and the Stump Jump mountain bike race (to bad they are usually the same week!

Charleston... sort of.

Charleston... sort of.

You must live in Summerville!

I'm from Greenville now living in Austin TX. I'll be coming back for Christmas holidays and I'm bringing my bike. While Austin has a kick ass cycling community, I miss the riding in SC and NC.

You must live in Summerville!

once again, sort of.

except for 3 years in Texas, i lived in the city for my entire life. then, about 3 years ago, i moved to Summerville. but i work in North Charleston two days a week, and the other five are usually spent on the penninsula.

my address is in Summerville, but i know Johns Island better...

Waxhaw, NC here

Waxhaw, NC here

My Great-Grandmother was a Waxhaw.

Greenville, SC here but I spend a lot of time in Columbia.

Here's one for High Point, NC.

I live in Greenville, SC during the week, but prefer to spend time in our small home in the mountains, Waynesville, NC. I lived in Greenville to get a paycheck, but now that I am retired, I can and do spend more time in the mountains. Right now, I am spending my bicycle time wrenching, fixing up my old college bike along with my wife's, and rebuilding a couple of other bikes as well. I haven't ridden since college, but now is a good time to get back into shape......

+1 for Asheville and Boone, NC

Just moved to Asheville, NC, but I still spend about 1-2 weeks a month at my place in Boone when I'm there for work. So far I like the weather in Asheville, but the mtb riding was better in Boone.

Used to live in Hickory (Viewmont) and Charlotte (Phillips Place) and I really miss both areas for nicer weather year-round.

Crab Creek NC represent!

Mint Hill, NC represent!

Hey speedlever, do you ride with any group in HP? I lived there before moving to winston and
use to ride with a good group of people. Most of them were speed skaters from HP. They would
meet at the radar base in Kernersville.

Not in particular. My schedule is pretty hit and miss, so I ride mostly solo. Rode once with the guys that meet at the YMCA on Sunday afternoons. They're a bit fast for me at this point. I've also run into another group that meets at the Farmer's Market on Sundays.

I ride by that radar base from time to time. I think you are referring to the one off Union Cross Rd at Wallburg Rd?

Yes thats the place. I have rode with the group from the Y a couple of years ago, didn't care for them to much. The Radar Base group may be the one starting from the farmers market now. You are more than
welcome to ride with the group I ride with sometime. Shoot me a email address and I'll let you know
if your interested.

Raleigh, NC here :)

been out of the game for a while (too long), hoping to get back into it soon.

go heels!

er...chapel hill.

dookie?...... go heels?.......wtf?

my name is a good hint :)

the mtb riding was better in Boone.

Get yerself to Biowheels and find out about awesome rides up Pisgah. Heart Break, too. MTB single speed freaks of nature are in AVL, and they know where to ride.

my name is a good hint :)

Now the board got a whole lot smarter.

Charleston here, James Island to Downtown

once again, sort of.
