This town also plays host to a gathering of bikers every year about 3 weeks after Carnival. It’s said that 5,000 bikers from all over Mexico and the US show up for a week of festivities, rallys, and parades. The parade, as luck would have it, goes right by the campground I was staying in after the La Posta park finally closed. It’s called the California RV Park and is closer to the beach then La Posta was. So it’s a short bike ride, less then a block, over to the seashore. The bikers parade started over in old town and went right by here. There were probably 1,000 bikes in the parade and since the street was nice and straight right here, we were treated to bike tricks all day. Donuts, wheelies, high speed runs, and people balancing on drivers shoulders. The parade was sort of intermittent and I usually turned off the camera between shots so some pictures here were hurried as I struggled with the camera’s ‘ON’ delay and managing the battery.
The news media was doing fly overs:
The crowd loves this sort of thing, lots of shiny bikes, 4-wheelers, etc:
This went on for 2-3 hours into the night. There were lots of kids riding with their parents and some pretty girls showing off:
Next time some shots of the park where I stayed.
Show the biker chicks – not the bikes! Sheesh, I thought I’d trained you better than this.
