The Bridge: Oriental’s Only Hill
Looking to port was not uncommon for the cyclists, as they got that glimpse of the Oriental harbor stretching out toward the wider Neuse River.
There were packs of cyclists — some sporting the Wolfpack colors….
… others more of a Carolina blue. A trio works its way up.
Two cyclists ascend the bridge, leaving Oriental’s Broad Street behind.
One of the more hearty souls who took off in the chill of Saturday morning. At least the wind was out of the north — providing a tail wind for the ascent of Oriental’s only hill.
Three on the way out of town.
The bridge was just the start of the Sunday route which took cyclists toward Arapahoe and Minnesott Beach
