Cedar Island to Oriental

Seventy miles of open marshland, swamp and pine forest lie between Cedar Island and Oriental. The terrain is flat but the distance, winds, mosquitoes and lack of drinkable water can make for a difficult ride. We spent the day putting one pedal stroke in front of the other until the miles were behind us. At the end of the day we were rewarded with one of the most beautiful towns on the North Carolina coast.
