Rode the bikes over to Weirs Thursday and Friday evenings (my first Bike Week !!) Parking ranged from Free - $5 for bikes to $10 - $20 for cars depending on the site. We parked down on the lake front for free (bikes only). Wall to wall bikes - it was quite the scene. License plates from up and down the East Coast, Canada and out to Colorado.
I understand that everything is a lot calmer then back in the day (Mr. Cindido used to come up yearly into the 80s) but I thought it was a great event. Loved the crowds lining the streets as we rode through Meredith. Local restaurants seemed to be doing very well. The vendors were extremely nice and we enjoyed chatting with the other bikers as they stopped to admire our bikes and vice versa. Also loved the photographers out on Mt. Major Hwy and then seeing fabulous photos on line available for purchase.
The weather has been gorgeous - although a little too windy for me personally but the temps have been perfect.
Off to the Loudon Classic today. Ride safe everyone !
