In recent years there was a concerted effort to dissuade the riders from coming to Myrtle, thanks to the work of the Mayor and a few council men. This included, but was not limited to a local ordinance requiring helmets. This was overturned by the S.C. Supreme court.
The dates for 2012 are May 11 - May20 and if all goes well the crowds that fell away during the negative actions should be returning.
There are dozens of sites up and down the Grand Strand and here are a few that we've enjoyed over the years.
Suck Bang Blow: Myrtle Beach Biker Burn Out Bar
The Beaver Bar, Cold Beer and Hot Chicks
Broken Spoke Saloon
The Rat Hole
Riding at the Grand Strand is great and during the spring the temps are comfortable. The crowds and traffic vary depending on location and time of day. Murells Inlet can be difficult in the evenings due to the large number of restaurants but that's all part of the environment.
