26th Oyster Run was GRRRRRREAT!
A big Hurray for the citizens of Anacortes Washington, who for a day open their town to the largest single day MC ralley in the Pacific Northwest. Took the wife this year on the RKC, she had a blast, it was her first such event. What she found most interesting is that out of I'm guessing10K people in and out all day, 75% or more were our age peers (45-60). The morning started out cold and cloudy, but the sun broke through about 10 and the rest of the day was pure sunshine and warmed up into the hi 60's. Last year it was 80 and almost to hot... especially for the big twins in long lines trying to get out of town! Again...Super job Anacortes! Thanks for another year!

You are so right. One of the best rides of the year. Took my wife for the first time. She had a blast. Thousands of all kinds of bikes, fresh oysters, lots of vendors; most with good prices, perfect weather, and noisy bikes everywhere. Even people on the side of the road yellin' rev 'em. We stayed a lot longer than we planned.

I had breakfast @ the cycle barn then took the ferry from muk up whidby over deception great ride.It was my first Oyster run and I was dissapointed . It seemed dis-organized.huge lines if you wanted a beer or needed a bathroom no main stage or events lots of people and bikes but everybody was just wandering .I expected the promoters could have done more than shut down the street and rent space to a few venders like place some sani-cans so people dont have to go into a resturant and wait in line take away the bikes that showed up for somthing entertaining and it would just be Sunday in
