Motorcycling NC
One of the best things about living in North Carolina is having the ability to enjoy motorcycling year-round. While it’s tough to beat the mountains for fabulous views and tight twisties, the Piedmont region holds its own rather nicely, and of course, there is nothing like riding along the glorious coast
.
Many riders become weekend warriors due to lack of free time during the week, however, riding doesn’t have to mean a lengthy road trip. With a little pre-planning, you can easily squeeze in ride time before or after work. Even a quick lunch ride will lift your spirits and leave you energized to tackle the afternoon. If you're going out after work, why not pack a picnic supper in the saddlebag and head out into the blue?
In this section are roads less traveled that make for a nice ride, along with rider comments. Little traffic, good twisties, and nice scenery make even the shortest ride a great experience. Some of the routes are longer than others, all listed are one-way so be sure to double the mileage for a round-trip. Miles are approximate and will vary depending on your starting point.
If you know a road listed here to have changed or be in poor condition, please use the Contact Us section to report it. Ditto for a fabulous find that isn't listed here - please share the fun!
