Myrtle Beach Bike Week 2010
Myrtle Beach Bike Rally is really a misnomer at this point - most bikers are avoiding Myrtle Beach itself, but the rally is going on and will be all week with events happening at venues around Myrtle Beach. Bikers who want to avoid the ridiculous and unconstitutional anti-motorcycle ordinances enacted by Myrtle Beach (helmet laws, noise ordinances, and parking laws for example) (and who want to avoid spending their money in the City of Myrtle Beach) can use Highway 31 to get around the city limits from Murrells Inlet or Garden City to North Myrtle Beach.
Hotspots outside the city limits of Myrtle Beach include Suck Bang Blow in Murrells Inlet; Myrtle Beach Harley Davidson (just barely outside of city limits on the south end of Business 17); Dead Dog Saloon in Murrells Inlet; the Rat Hole in Socastee just outside of MB city limits; the Beaver Bar in Murrells Inlet; and the Broken Spoke Saloon in Garden City.
The best map to show city limits is probably on Google Earth, which you have to download to use, but here is one from the City of Myrtle Beach's website - it is usable, but you have to play with the size a bit to make it viewable.
Call it whatever you want - Myrtle Beach Bike Week, Grand Strand Spring Rally, Grand Strand Rally, Cruisin' The Coast, Spring Rally, Murrells Inlet Spring Rally - just come. Don't let the City of Myrtle Beach kill a decades old tradition in the Grand Strand.
