I'll be in Myrtle Beach 6/20-25. Are there any local clubs or shops with
regular rides I could hook up with? I'm not averse to travelling a little
either, perhaps north to Wilmington or south to Charleston, if there's a
good club ride worth doing.

Thanks!

I know nothing about organized rides but I have biked US 17 throughout that
area. It's rather crowed in the immediate Myrtle Beach area, and not
especially fun to ride for that reason. Once clear of that though, there's
good riding to the south all the way to the Charleston area, if you like
light traffic and flat roads - not particularly interesting scenery (low
piney woods) unless, coming into Charleston, you go over to Isle of
Palms/Sullivan's Island, which gets you an ocean view. The biggest "climb"
is the bridge into Charleston.

To the north it's not much different, but there's more traffic. The biggest
"climb" is the Wilmington bridge. The terrain throughout the coastal
Carolinas is flat - a few modest hillocks around Camp Lejeune but that's
about it.
