A few friends and I are planning a short trip starting at my place in Chesapeake VA and going to a place that we will be renting for a week around Kitty Hawk,NC. The trip is planned for the end of August right now.
Now, I have taken both ways by car, (17 and 168), but I don't know if you CAN take 168 on a bike. Does anyone know if this is true or not?
I pretty much live on a road that bisects 17, so that, although being the longer way, may be easier in the long run. Especially since I believe traffic will not be as bad on 17, (except around Elizabeth City maybe?)
If anyone knows this area or anything about these routes and could help out, I would greatly appreciate it. For the most part, distance isn't much of a problem, but traffic is the main priority. (call us wimps)
