Today June 22nd was the 4th annual Bobcaygeon Bikefest.
A small town located in the heart of the Kawartha lakes in Ontario.
Kawartha in Indian meaning "bright waters and happy lands"[ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawartha_Lakes#cite_note-2), it sure is and was. :clap:
The weather was outstanding!

This is the Filet Mignon of Ontario's prim vacation territory.
Ok I'm biased ... It's near my cottage too and where I retreat too to recover my sanity from the city hustle and bustle and presures.

Situated on the Trent canal system we get many visitors from the USA by boat from across lake Ontario here to lock #32.
The entire downtown area was closed with only bikers allowed to park on the main street, I estimate they had 10-15 thousand bikers :doorag: add to the towns 2,500 population.

This is the next up and coming Port Dover type event in Northern Ontario.
Many vendors, good food and a Sea of Harleys that included a healthy collection of trikes of every kind.
I said Hi to several Spyder :chat:owner-riders and spread the word where SpyderLovers.com could be found.

Next year mark it on your calendar and I'll be sure to remind all as well.
Good to meet you all today, hope you made the trip to the site.

This clip was from 2 years ago, I'll post the GoPro footage I took after editing.
