Where's a good place to stay in town for Bike Week?

Find yourself someplace up in North Myrtle.

Why's that RMN? Is North Myrtle close to everything going? I don't want to have to ride too far in town. Last time I was in Myrtle the traffic was tough.

Yes there are quite a few of the Bike Week activities in North Myrtle Beach. Although there have been more throughout the area lately.

Last year we stayed at the Econo lodge on south Ocean Drive. It was good. They didn't mind the bikes and a bit of noise. Plus it was close to some of the events we most wanted to go to.

Hey RMN most of the events are in the south myrtle area. Thats where the swap meets are and the bike clinics. Most of the bars in that area have something going on too.

Thanks jimtob352. We got us a place in south Myrtle. Man I'm ready for this thing. Didn't make it to Daytona this year and cause of my job Sturgis is out. Too far to ride. so I can't wait for bike week.

Where is the Festival Grounds?

RMN · #11 (**permalink**) May-1st,2002, 12:15 AM

I think that's at the Music Warehouse. I'm not sure if that's the same thing as the Festival Grounds. Most of the other bike week things are at either the convention center or the Murrels Inlet.

a brother of mine was saying the same thing as RMN. he thinks that is where the big name bands will be playing... hope so that's where I'm heading!

Damn we had a good time! Just got back in from MB, and have to get off to work just wanted to drop a line telling everyone it was great! A few bad bad accidents. But very good in every other way (it was kind of cold yesterday though!).

The numbers are in for Bike Week - looks like an estimated 85,000 motorcycles and 215,000 people made it to the Grand Strand for Bike Week! Pretty impressive.
