A familiar wave – Julia Tingle of Oriental. Ten years ago when Cycle NC’s Moutnains to the Sea weeklong trip wound up in Oriental, Julia Tingle was inspired to get on a bike, and has been riding since.
Another local pedaller — Larry Summers of Oriental – was riding a bike rickshaw around town in the mornings and organizing kayak trips for the visiting cyclists in the afternoons.
Not a lightweight contraption, but with details worth taking a second look at.
Later in the afternoon, along Highway 55, were cyclists who’d chosen to do the longer routes out to Bayboro and Aurora.
Here a cyclist passes the long-falling barn near Merritt.
Another cyclist showed off a stuffed animal as she went by.
