Default Oyster Run - Anacortes, WA

Here's a couple of photos, been going so long that all the photos look the same. It's still fun to go (although I haven't ridden down the main drag in years). Crowded this year due to nice weather. Photos didn't work, will add later.

Yep...that's what it looked like!
I heard estimates upwards of 30,000
We deserve it for all the crap weather we've had!
We got in about 10:15 and still ended up parked on almost the last block of the main drag!

Yeah, times have changed. When I first started going if you got there by 9 or 10 it was almost deserted, you could park anywhere. Now get there at 10 and it's a crap shoot. We park on the marina side and walk a block, it's not worth heating up my motor to go down the main drag (plus a "quick get-a-way"). Conway Tavern was also packed as always.

The weather for the run has not been the best the last couple of years. The weather here lately has been great BUT I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I've lived here too long to trust this nice weather too much longer.

Wife and I got there at about 9:30(ish) and we parked all the way down at the end, had a great time too. TONS of bikes, and I think this years theme was the Can-Am, didn't see too many wings compaired to the Spider, I didn't venture out too far off the main drag though. Only took us an hour to get out of Anacortes.... hahaha!
