Carolina Roads ????

Hey All,

I will be heading to Myrtle Beach from Wisconsin and have been studying my maps in preparation. It looks like I will probably cross into NC near Asheville, but from there to Myrtle I don't see any direct routes. Any suggestions for good roads would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for scenic but I also want to be able to make pretty good time.

Thanks!

I-26 to I20 east. I-95 to 327. left on 76 stay on that road until it turns in to 501. That will carry you striaght to Myrtle Beach. If you want back roads let me know. I can give you several. Make the trip from upstate SC three or four times a year.

Follow I-26 south from Ashville to SC and exit at Hwy 11 about 10 miles north of Spartanburg. Follow hwy 11 to the east to Gaffney then take 150 or 18 or 105 to the south to Hwy 9. Follow Hwy 9 East(south) all the way to North Myrtle Beach then follow Hwy 17 south to Myrtle Beach. This is a very relaxing route thru the countryside and you will pass thru several smaller towns if in need of gas or food. From Spartanburg to the beach this will add about 1 1/2 hrs to your ride but after riding Interstate from WI you'll welcome the change of pace. Enjoy the ride on I-40 thru Tenn. Very curvy and Scenic for an interstate hwy. P.S. Cheeseheads rule!! Eat your brats before leaving cause you won't find any down here that are worthwhile.

RE: Carolina Roads ????

Two great responses...thank you both! From the looks of my map, Lype's route on the way down when I have a tighter schedule and Terry SC's route on the way home when I will have more time. I'll be printing this thread and bringing it along with me.

Thanks again! [sm=smiley20.gif]

Hey Terry, thanks for the comments. One of the great things about riding the bike through small Wisconsin towns in the summer is the smell of all those brats cooking on the backyard grills.
