Bike Show judging - The severely wet
weather stifled many bikers from bringing
down their bikes - thanks so much to those
who "braved the mud"!
Friday night - a little rain
didn't stop the party!
All 1st place winners, with one exception,
were then entered into the Best In Show
contest to be judged by onlookers...
