The ride up the mountain was wild, with an incredible amount of bicyclists making their way up the mountain from a city in the valley down below. They would pass each other, forcing cars to veer across the double yellow line into oncoming traffic. There were more than I could or would want to count.
Many members of the Roadhouse Biker Church made the trek as I followed. We made it to our destination without incident.
The weather was nearly perfect. Many of us even managed to get sun burned.
It was a good day for the church to set up their booth and spread the good word. Prayers were offered for those present in need.
Here's a picture of my friends Gary and Amy of the Roadhouse Biker Church. I was waiting at a turnout for them to arrive and captured this image.
Attendance seemed to be down this year compared to last, but as you can see in the photo below, there was still a decent turnout.
Here's a few of the cool bikes that were on hand.
This is actually the second Porche-powered trike that I've seen in recent weeks. How cool is this?
I've seen some very tall apes in popular pictures on the web. These may be the tallest that I've seen in person. Photoshop was not used to enhance this image.
This is probably my favorite bike. And it wasn't even in the show. It belongs to Pete "Hot Dog" Finlan, a former employee of West Coast Choppers.
The bike is a WCC CFL (Choppers For Life) model. It was built and painted by Pete and looked amazing.
My final image to post of the day is of one of the Hoka Hey challengers. I didn't get his name, but he had some cool and interesting stories to tell. It was great to talk to this guy and hear his views of the event and its obstacles.
He rode the event on a non-touring bike without a windshield. That's right - no windshield!
I hope you enjoyed the words and pictures. Ride safe.
