Daniel,
The fairs of the season don't really kick off here in NC until around early to mid Sept time frame. until then, the beaches are close by, the mountains are close by and if you really need to quell your ride fix, Paramounts Carowinds is just down the road near Charlotte, Paramounts King's Dominion is just north of Richmond VA, and Busch Gardens is east of there in Williamsburg VA. The Pavilion at Myrtle Beach SC should be in full swing too. Get out and see the area dude. [:D]
