What’s Happening at the Rally
The fall rally is truly something special. With a focus on local flair, this event is packed with rides, entertainment, vendors, and plenty of motorcycle camaraderie. Charles Pedersen, General Manager at Driftwoods Seafood & Steak, shared some insight, saying, “As far as it goes, there’s, you know, a lot more people that attend the spring rally, but it seems like the fall rally is a lot more kind of local people or people within the state.”
This makes the fall rally feel a bit cozier and more homey. Local riders and families gather together, sharing stories and rides, while soaking in the lively atmosphere that only Myrtle Beach can provide. It’s clear that this event has a vibe of community at its core!
Rides and Events Galore
This weekend, riders had the chance to participate in guided rides along the stunning scenic routes of the Grand Strand. The views are simply breathtaking, like cruising along the coast with the sun on your face and the wind in your hair.
But it’s not just about the rides! There are endless activities to keep everyone entertained, from bike shows to competitions and lots of live music to dance to. Whether you’re a die-hard motorcycle fan or just someone looking to enjoy the thrill of the rally, there’s something for everyone.
