Myrtle Beach
Gonna be in Myrtle Beach next week. Can anyone provide any info on rides or routes in the area? I want to know if there are some good roads, or if I should just plan on taking the trainer.

Go to the SE Regional forums. There is a thread on Bikes-N-Gear, the local shop. They have a group ride every day.
Or google Bikes-N-Gear Myrtle Beach and give them a call.

You have three choices:
Flat and against the wind
Flat and with the wind
Flat with a crosswind
ok - so I am being a smart aleck.
At this time of year, daytime rides tend to be very warm and humid. You'll have to go a ways inland to avoid the traffic and stoplights and construction. No doubt the local riders can give you tips for better ride locations than tooling around in town. If you had dreams of a nice peaceful ride along a road with the beach off to your side, you will have to abandon them. Even if you go all the way down to Pawley's Island, there are lots of stops and traffic.

Its Freakin HammerTime!!!
You need to be OFF ocean drive before 7 am or youll get hit.
For a better ride (less scenic) go farther inland to ride. I like riding OD but Im always done before 7 am.
