The largest number of bikers will be in Myrtle Beach from May 17-20.

As a preventative measure, from 2:00 p.m. to midnight on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Ocean Boulevard traffic will be one-way, southbound, from 29th Avenue North to 17th Avenue South. Right turns off Ocean Boulevard will be permitted at cross streets with a stoplight on Kings Highway. Once the one-way traffic pattern is in place, the two northbound lanes of Ocean Boulevard will be reserved for emergency vehicles.
