Looking for nice out and back on good roads during the off season here in Brunswick County? Before all the beach rentals get filled, this is a pretty good route with enough bike lane where needed to keep you safe under reasonable traffic. This begins at a convenient point next to Andrew Cowells shop, 2375 Midway (1 mile north of Worms and Coffee on Midway Road) and loops out to highway 17 and then heads on down to Holden Beach. There the Subway sandwich shop can get you refueled with a great oven roasted sandwich and plenty to drink. Just follow your tracks back to your waiting car and you on your way. Park at the newly abandon Jehovahs Witness Church next to Andrew Cowells.
