Default 2016 Ocean City Bikefest

Anyone else going? I have never been before, but some friends wanted to go so six of us are headed to Ocean City Md for the show. What should we expect and what should we check out when we are there?

Thanks!

I went two years, I think 2012 and 2013. It's ok. Something to do. Plenty of Hotels to stay at. Plenty of cops but they leave you alone as long as your not being an idiot. Public transportation if you want to leave bike at hotel. I left from northeast NJ and took the parkway to cape may ferry.

We have a group going. First time for OCMD. We did Wildwood for several years, until my bike was stolen!!

Looking forward to it. Check out Oasis Bar n Grill, about 20 minutes west, just off 50.

The wife and I go every year. We got married there the first year. Been our anniversary trip every year since. Same every year, but always a good time... We always go down for the whole week and enjoys the beach before all the bikes start rolling in.

This is my 4th year going. We used to do Wildwood but got tired of all the crap that goes on there ( if you have been to bike week there you know what I am talking about)

Riding down on Wed with a few friends and meeting others there...Make sure you hit Hoopers crab house right on the Bay on Rt 50 They have vendors there also

You should also take a ride to assateague island
It is the only place on this side of the Mississippi that has wild horses. they roam all over the Island ..it is really cool.

They have great bands at the Inlet and also check out all the Vendor areas....

This bike week makes Wildwood look like a local bike night at a bar

you should also check out the 2 web sites

We are actually staying at Castaways RV Resort just down 611 from 50. There are two other events areas planned out near Salisbury MD.

Another nice ride is taking the back roads into VA to Chincoteague island.

This is a great event with things going on at several locations. Go out to Winter Park Place on Thursday to see the vendors before the crowds roll in for the weekend. Thursday afternoon at M.R. Ducks for Classic rock band Tranfuzion and then an amazing Skynyrd Tribute band at Seacrets at 10:00. Fish Tales bar is always a good spot. A one hour ride south down to Chincoteague for lunch and a pass through Assateaque on the way back to see the wild ponies is a nice time. Many, many other things going on.
