Posting from the deck at the Sanderling Inn down here in OBX. Got an email from them a couple weeks back - cooking school weekend. Sounded like fun, so here I am - and a good thing, since by the end of this week, I’d had it up to here with people, contractors and just about everything else.
I’ll do a separate write up on the cooking class & demos, but I just love being down here - it is the best place to get out of your own head for a while. Besides the class & demos, I’ve hit my fav beach shop, coffeeshop, tackle shop, been fishing a couple times, spent time on the beach (dolphins!), got sunburned, met all sorts of nice people (as always) and generally enjoyed the hell out of myself.
It is also apparently bike week down here - didn’t even know OBX had a bike week - not exactly Sturgis, but LOTS of motorcycles all over the place, and a lot of happy bikers.
Heading back home tomorrow, but it’s been a perfect weekend.

So it would seem. :)
I was only aware of Daytona Bike Week, and I doubt I would want to attend either of them. Too many idiot riders in too little gear. :P

It seems to be very laid back - ran into a bunch of them last night when I was out & about and they’re just enjoying being at the beach.

Sounds like just what the doctor ordered.
I’ve stayed there before. In November of 2000, right after I came back from Russia. I really liked it up that way, though I was concerned about what traffic might be like on that two lane road during the season.
An OBX bike week might be worth attending. I don’t like the crowds at the larger events.

It was an excellent weekend. The traffic really isn’t that bad in season, the worst of it tends to be over the weekend as folks are coming in or leaving.
