We all like our own necks of the woods, but the beauty of the pavement is that it connects us to our whole country. And there's nothing better than meeting up with other bikers to ride together, show off bikes, exchange patches, do burnouts and just plain have fun.
With miles of road, good hot weather and amazing views, the great state of California is perfect for summer biker rallies. Here are a few great events to make sure you get to this summer.
Redwood Run: June 9, 2016 - June 11, 2016
The Redwood Run calls itself the "only true old school rally" left on the West Coast. And they've certainly got all the things they need to call themselves "old school." With live music all day and all night (for the whole weekend), games, food, drinks and more, it'll definitely be a good time. Oh, and of course there's a wet T-shirt contest.
