I'm going to be on Topsail (south end) this weekend and would like to get about a 40 mile ride in on Saturday.  I would rather not ride on the island on a holiday weekend.  Is anyone in the area interested in riding or know of a good route in the area?  Thanks.

I don't know about traffic on Labor day but I rode the island two weeks ago. End to end on the island is awesome.  did 44 miles end to end -rode from where the road turns into sand and back again. go early before the wind picks up, i know that much: hit some head/cross wind and I am pretty sure I was riding backwards at that point.

was relieved to get to topsail and realize it was nothing like north myrtle area. I was afraid that the waterfront road would be heavily populated with pedestrians and golf carts and stop lights. Topsail is great riding. Never got to go across the new bridge but I bet that would be a treat.

kind of tempted to meet you down there, but I think I have a golf tournament to play.

Ended up doing the Cape Fear Cyclists' Hot 100 ride out of Burgaw.  Got in about 15 more than intended after missing a turn.  I did get to see downtown Atkinson, NC.  So, that was nice.  CBP, I might shot you a PM next time I'm in the area looking to ride.  Thanks.
