The entire state of North Carolina offers so much for the cyclist... flat roads on the coast, crazy climbs in the west mountains... and all kinds of stuff in between.
Here is a really good site for you to check out

We just hit 300 people who want the "SHARE THE ROAD" licence plates for their autos... I am one of them. So don't fret... North Carolina's taxes are WAY higher than New York, but this is a fun state to ride around.
Oh yeah... today it is going to be 62 and sunny where I am (about 80 miles west of Durham). Gotta go ride! L8R
