2. Trailer & Bike Parking

Trailers, big rigs, and multiple bikes can complicate lodging. Some hotels have strict limits. Boardwalk Inn & Suites is rider-conscious and can help guests find nearby secure lots. Call ahead to check parking options and any size restrictions.

3. Use Helpful Apps

Rever is a motorcycle trip planner that offers turn-by-turn directions and allows you to share rides.

Install these before arriving for smoother navigation during the rally.

4. Must-Do Rides & Tours

Ride on the Beach: Daytona’s coastline allows for riding up to 23 miles on hard-packed sand. Ride slowly and safely.
Ormond Scenic Loop & Trail: A 30-mile loop with coastal views, wildlife, and nature—a perfect escape from Main Street.
Daytona International Speedway / Thunder Alley: Demos, music, and vendor displays make this a must-see.
Main Street & Midtown Events: Vendor rows, bike shows, street performances, and food options.
Iron Horse Saloon & Destination Daytona (Ormond): Popular spots for nightlife, music, and shopping.

5. Ride Smart: Safety & Logistics

Watch the road surface; sand, gravel, and wet leaves can create hazards.
Keep group sizes manageable (5–7 bikes) to avoid confusion.
Stay hydrated and prepare for Florida heat and humidity.
Always wear full gear: helmet, gloves, boots, and protective clothing.
Be flexible; crowds and parking challenges may require adjusting your plans.

6. Navigation Tips

Use GPS and offline maps since cell service can be spotty in busy areas.
Plan alternate routes to avoid traffic congestion near Main Street or the Speedway.
Know fuel stops and rest areas along your planned rides.

7. Leave Room for Exploration

Some of the best experiences come from wandering, meeting fellow riders, and discovering local spots. Allow flexibility in your schedule to enjoy the unexpected.
