How to Participate
The best way to experience Bike Week is to cruise along the coastline of the Carolinas and take it all in. Bike routes going both north and south offer plenty of tourist attractions and pretty scenery.
Below are some highlights from each route:
- Going South — Enjoy the gorgeous coastline from Murrells Inlet, just south of Myrtle Beach, to Charleston. The waterfront in Georgetown is a terrific spot to relax, and the ride to Charleston has historic plantation homes. The picturesque waterfront of Historic Downtown Charleston has drawn national acclaim.
- Going North – Delicious seafood restaurants in Calabash, North Carolina, plus resort towns and historical attractions, can be found on the way to Wilmington, North Carolina. Points of interest in Wilmington include the USS North Carolina battleship, Cape Fear Museum of History and Science, Bellamy Mansion Museum, and Airlie Gardens, a vast public garden with thousands of beautiful magnolias, azaleas, camellias, and more.

- Invest in anti-lock brakes for your bike.
