Riders Blew Into Ellensburg for a Breezy Bike Night

Central Washington Bike Nights blew into Ellensburg this week -- and anybody who was there knows that's no exaggeration! But despite winds reported at 25 mph or more, 65-plus hardy riders took pulled up to the Porch for this week's gathering.

The great food and drinks made for good ballast on the ride out (and the prizes and Pepsi gear didn't suck, either)!

If the wind pushed you away, don't forget you can still get in on the Sturgis Buffalo Chip package. We'll draw for two rally passes on June 26 -- good for tent camping, all concerts, races and events within the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis, S.D., this Aug. 6-12. You can also enter at Owens Cycle's second-chance drawing box, 1707 N. First St.
