The wind can be demotivating so I just make sure I try to ride into it to start my ride and sail home after. Loved the Hatteras area, btw, having never been that far south before.


We have always gone to Hatteras/ Frisco since I was kid. After the trip this year, the wife and I have come to the conclusion it’s just too far to travel with two kids. (one kid now, but another one on the way) I think from now on we’re going to go to southern nags head. I do plan on riding from ocracoke all the way to southern shores one day.

We did it with my 3 year old from Richmond, so it was about 4.5 hours. To her credit, she did really well and only had a partial 30 minute meltdown on the drive out there. Was probably the best week of her life once we were there too.

I wanted to share a few pics, but they don’t strictly belong here, because of the “empty” before “road ahead.” I’ll add them anyway.

Solitude spoiled only by one other rider and one car in the distance.

Here, my progress was delayed by some bison, just as I started down a fun, fast descent. I can’t complain, as it is their territory.

This one is devoid of all other road users, human and otherwise. Most people turn around at this point, myself included.

Aha! Thanks, I thought it looked familiar. I rode that back in 2003, during the TdF.
