    Michael, that's too bad. I have not been in Myrtle for a long time. Enjoy your vacation - sounds fun!

    The new bridge is beautiful, a must to check out. Bike shop and bike group are all tied together. Its a great group and if you want to see the country side its some terrific riding. Good luck. I checked out your zip code, I lived in South Central PA for about 30 years.
    Hilton Head is a great biking place. Never been but I hear a lot about it.
    Happy Trails!

    @Cynthia, saw your zip code includes Sunset Beach. Will be visiting there for a day, try to hit that beach at least once every vacation, but don't always succeed. Have to try the new bridge! Thanks for the bike info., will look the shop up.
    @Rob, we stay on the inland side of US 17, biking and even walking in his area is dangerous at best. I'm a transportation planner by trade (which includes bike/ped planning!), so I know bad when I see it!

    @Michael-wow too cool! I am right around the corner from Calabash! Go to that ice cream place, well, maybe too much. There is a bike group here, great riding in the area. People join the group from all over when they are here visiting. We have a bike shop who is celebrating its grand opening on the 25th. Love La Belle Aime! Enjoy your vacation, maybe sometime you can join the group! The bike shop is called Island Hoppers. The Bike Group is the OIB Cyclists.

    Hey Michael G, my family and I were just in Hilton Head for the first time last week. What a great place for biking! They have many trails and you can ride on the beach. Lots of people are out biking and the bike rental places deliver to your location for no charge. Looking forward to another vacation there sometime in the future. I never thought of Hilton Head as a great biking destination, but I was surprised!
