Still Rolling Into Fall Rally? Here's What's Left — Oct 1–4

Thursday, October 1

American Legion Riders Benefit Ride — One of the best rides of the whole rally, and it's for a good cause. Registration 9:30–10:30 AM at Jamin Leather, kickstands up at 11. Stops at Murphy's Law, Backyard Bar & Grill, and Magoo's Sports & Spirits, back by 2:30. Twenty bucks a bike, ten a passenger, and it benefits Wreaths Across America and other veterans' programs, with an auction and raffle after the ride.

Over at Suck Bang Blow, the Cruise The Loop rolls out — registration at 10 AM, kickstands up at noon. Bands all day into the night, including Bryan Martin at 9 PM.

At Spokes & Bones, the Bikini Contest runs 1–2 PM on the Main Stage, with bands on both stages all afternoon and evening — Contagious closes out the Main Stage 7–11. Biker Bingo runs 1–4 daily in the FMF Vendor Pavilion, which is open 11 AM–2 AM.

That evening, Fall Rally Bike Night hits South Coast Beer Project, 6–9 PM — live music, food and drink specials, rally giveaways. And keep an eye out: rally Grand Marshal Tom the Mime is cruising the Rally Zone with special appearances all day.

Friday, October 2

Start the day right: free biker breakfast at the Harley Shop at the Beach, 9–11 AM, courtesy of Eggs Up Grill.

Spokes & Bones runs the Bikini Contest Finals at 3:30 PM, then the night turns loud — Freebird, the Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute, takes the Main Stage 9–11. If there's one night this weekend you don't want to miss at S&B, that's the one.

At Suck Bang Blow, the FYF Sound Show runs midday (registration 11 AM, starts 1 PM), and the night stacks up: Bailey Road at 8, Yung Joc at 9.

Tom the Mime holds a press conference at The Hangout at 11 AM, then hosts the Fall Rally Party at The Hangout at Broadway at the Beach, 5–8 PM.

Saturday, October 3 — The Big Day

Two big rides to choose from:

• The Scenic Fall Rally Ride — starts at Sneaky Beagle, 10 AM–5 PM, a two-hour cruise ending at the after party at LandShark Bar & Grill at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach.
• The Fall Rally State Line Ride with Tom the Mime — meet at 11 AM in Little River, kickstands up at 11:30, rolling up to SeaBreeze Harley-Davidson in Shallotte, NC around noon, where the SeaBreeze Fall Rally Party runs 11 AM–3 PM. Free to ride, but listen up: the route crosses into North Carolina, and helmets are required up there, no matter what South Carolina's law says. Don't learn that one the hard way.

Saturday night is the biggest night of the rally. Spokes & Bones closes it out with Hells Bells — the AC/DC tribute — on the Main Stage 9–11. The Mercenaries play 4:30–8:30 ahead of them. Over at Suck Bang Blow, Saliva takes the stage 9–11.

And if you're still standing, Tom the Mime does a meet and greet at SBB at 5 PM.

Sunday, October 4 — The Sendoff

FMF Bloody Mary Sunday at Spokes & Bones, 10 AM–2 PM. The proper way to close out a rally — hair of the dog, one last lap through the vendor pavilion, and roll on home.

A Word on the Weather

Thursday and Friday look like prime riding weather — sunny, mid-80s. Saturday turns: light rain showers and cooler, highs in the upper 70s. If you're riding Saturday, pack rain gear — and maybe a light layer for Saturday night. Sunday warms back up with a chance of showers. Forecasts change, so check before you roll, but plan on Saturday being the wet one.

After the Rally

When the smoke clears Sunday, remember: Spokes & Bones goes quiet until the next rally — it's a rally-only spot. But Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson and the Harley Shop at the Beach are open year-round, so the Grand Strand never really runs out of bike nights.

Full schedules, dealer info, and everything else rally — it's all on the Rally Rider Hub. See y'all out there.
