Just a reminder that you can purchase a wide variety of stylin' cruising apparel from our Cruising Apparel page. Many different shirt styles, colors and prints available.
With so many upcoming events now might be a good time to purchase a Coasters shirt to show your affiliation with the coolest bike club around.
Wow what a great day! I think it's safe to say this was our biggest turnout yet. It's so hard to get an idea of how many people showed up but I know we went through a lot more food and water than in past years. Many new people and new bikes. I estimate close to 300 bikes. There were a little over 100 bikes entered in the People's Choice competition alone. The weather cooperated and was in the upper 80s with a nice breeze. The reigning Skid Row champ was defeated. A large parade ride and from what I hear I was fortunate to be in the front (can Harpo see into the future? Listen for him in the video).
If you attended please leave a comment. If you have photos you would like to share please let me know. Thanks for coming! I hope everyone had a great time.
If you didn't get a shirt they can still be purchased online along with past year's shirts.
If you haven't already, please sign up for the bike fest newsletter.

Skid Row contest: First a correction. We had announced Matt as the 1st place winner but it was actually Tyler.
1st place: Tyler M. 218.3
2nd place: Matt 209.2 feet
3rd place: Derick 199.7
I must add that is was so cool to see a custom made skid bike even though it didn't win.

Peoples Choice Kustom: Randy French with his yellow, monster rear tired chopper.

This evening I spotted 2 of the give-away bikes being ridden down the sidewalk. I knew they were the bikes because one w
as the boys and the other the girls and the girls still had streamers. Nice to know they are getting use.
I'm sure that's fine. They'll also need help loading bikes into trucks. I had forgot to post that they are also assembli
ng bikes on Sunday beginning at 1:00pm. I just updated the post.
