I live here and this sh!t sux. There are plenty of other places besides Myrtle Beach. Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet, Little River, Calabash. There are alot of places to ride down her that do not include Myrtle Beach. There are ways of avoiding the City of Myrtle Beach too. Take Rte 31 from Little River to Murrells. The real problem is the Atlantic Bike Week.Living here I see all the trash these people leave when they're done. Restauraunts actually close their doors because of the chew and screws. It's sad that no one will grow a set and call a spade a spade.

Since you are in the thick of things, Is Hwy 17 Bypass inside or outside the Myrtle Bch city limits? If so, what's the best way to get around. I have a condo in N. Myrtle Bch, come down for MMB each year & need to get back & forth to the Southside/Garden City, etc.

My understanding is that the city limits starts a bit south of The Doll House & 2001 night club area and runs down to around the airport. What say you?
Also, do you know what the helmet laws will look like in NMB/south of Myrtle Bch, etc?

Thanks,
Huntray.

17 bypass runs thru the "City" of Myrtle Beach. You can avoid 17 bypass by using Rte 31. 31 is a nice ride. Wide open and a 65 mph speed limit. It's a 20 minute ride from north to south.Take that south to 544. Then take 544 right into Surfside Beach. Surfside Beach DOES have a noise ordinance so take it kinda easy thru there. They won't mess with you unless you're really on it thru the gears. Murrells Inlet is just south of Surfside Beach. Garden City is just south of that. Surfside and Murrells are both great places to be. The HD dealer in surfside usually has alot going on. So far so good on the lid law north and south of the "city".

They've got us going around in circles. There is no more myrtle beach. It is now LittleRiverBikeWeek or MurrellsInletBikeWeek.
Next thing you know they'll invent some insane idea like having bike week in some place that isn't even a place - like New Bern! Wake up! It's LittleRiverBikeWeek or MurrellsInletBikeWeek. Somebody man up and choose one!

Why pick one? It's not about the destination, it's about the ride. Why name it at all? Riding the Grand Strand is great. It's a nice ride from Little River to Murrells Inlet. 31 is 3 lanes with no traffic. I'm looking forward to getting some good pics from an overpass. Everybody come and have a good time. Don't worry about Myrtle Beach. By the time the rally gets here, the State will have overturned all of their ordinances. They've already said it breaks the State Constitution.
