The Dragon Makes A Special Run.

For the visiting cyclists, Oriental’s New Years Dragon – so named because he usually only comes out on December 31 — made a special appearance. Here, it pauses a moment outside Cheryl Thompson’s garage.

Turtle Midyette heading it up – literally, under the head — the dragon came to life, here turning the corner from Neuse Street to South Avenue.

The dragon on South Avenue, with a number of visiting cyclists pitching in — on two legs and no wheels — underneath the body.

Many greeted the dragon with cameras, others with the traditional Oriental greeting: the clangor of pots and pans.

The dragon shows a little leg. Several, actually. Typically, the dragon makes its run down Hodges Street on Oriental’s harbor, a place that is protected from the winds. South Avenue was another story where the only windbreak was the line of spectators. The gusts of wind off the Neuse treated the dragon’s body like a sail.
