Howdy!
I just moved to Charleston from Pittsburgh, and am looking for some people to ride with. I can get myself around the state forest well enough, but am looking for some help with longer road routes. I am a fairly strong rider (expert mtb & enduro/a lot of road experience). So far my experiences on the roads here have been harrowing (chased by numerous dogs and a turkey - don't ask), though I have not ventured South of the river.
Thanks!
Brad

Hey,
I don't live in Charleston but I've been researching the riding a bit because I may be relocating there soon.
Check these guys out:

Very organized. Lots of rides posted and they tell you what level rides they will be doing (A,B,C,D).
This guy has some maps of good roads to ride in and around Charleston:

Good luck,
Maybe catch up with you on a ride if end up there.

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately I'm a little gassed from the Mohican 100 yesterday, or I'd be there for sure!
