Bob's Bike Show
I was looking through some old threads and stumbled upon this event. It sounds amazing, does anyone know the date for the 2023 event. I live just a couple away and would really enjoy seeing all those wonderful bikes.
Thank You
Thank You

This is not to be missed IMO if you are anywhere within driving distance.
Bob is the best host and curator of this.
Plan to bring your favorite, coolest example(s) to share.

Thanks for the replies folks. I will watch for it in July. I am down to one C&V bike now. It would be fun to go on the ride also.

If you're taking the train, your terminus would be Seattle. From there it's about a 40 mile flatish bike ride to North Bend. There are cheap hotels in North Bend, and Bob has offered his yard as a campsite as well. If/when you're starting to plan it, PM me, I've done that ride a few times.

Bob isn’t going to Cino this year, said he would be too busy getting ready for the show but can’t remember if he said the show would be weekend before or after.

July 29 is the date!
Just got an email back from Bob.
@john903, click on the little red button with an exclamation mark and ask the mods to change the title to add the date. I'd do it, but it's your thread.

Your translation skills (Italian>English) on the decal would crack the code.

Should be a sign with Jim joining the forum the day after Bob's show announcement.
