Hi all,

My husband's family is renting a house in Emerald Isle, NC, this summer, so we are trying to plan a short bike trip that ends here (maybe 300-400 miles). Is there a rule of thumb here in terms of which direction we should ride (North-South or South-North). I know when we did the Pacific Coast last year, the consensus was to ride North-South because of prevailing winds, scenery, and biking infrastructure.

Any guidance would be appreciated! If anyone has any suggestions on places to start our trip, we would love to hear them!

Thanks!
