As primarily a fitness rider, I ride a lot near my home. I've ridden some other places, but I'm looking to start putting my bike rack to better use and going further afield.

I've ridden the American Tobacco Trail in Durham, and enjoyed that. I'm mostly looking to ride rail trails, greenways that allow and work well for bikes and back roads - not hard core mountain bike trails. I live in central NC, but willing to travel the state and up into Virginia and down into SC for great rides.

One of my favorites. Going back this fall and taking some kayaks along as well this trip.

Thanks! That looks great - I can't believe I wasn't aware of this trail, as it's only about two hours from me.

Who else has input on this? Keep them coming, please.

The Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville SC is great!

Thanks! That does look nice. I'll add it to my list.

UPDATE: I've found another local trail that is really nice, for those that are in central North Carolina:
