Bikes, Blues & BBQ (Update 10/1 — Attendance Numbers)

BBB logoThe wife, the boy and I walked down Dickson this afternoon to check out the cool bikes, then ate some awesome BBQ while listening to a blues band.

BBB is the third-largest bike rally in the country, after Sturgis and Daytona Beach, and is the largest that benefits charity.  The attendance estimates for last year were around 350,000.  This year should surpass that.

Didn’t take a ton of pictures, but here are some of the more interesting ones: (after the break)

UPDATE (October 1, 2008 at 10:00):

The rally organizers “estimated attendance at 350,000 — up from 300,000 last year and 1,500 the first year.  An official count is not available because there is no registration, and organizers use sales and hotel estimates to come up with a figure.”  That’s from this morning’s Northwest Arkansas Times.  They do not have an online version of the article up yet; I’ll add a link when it becomes available. [Upate:  Here's the link.]

Apparently I was wrong about last year’s estimate, but even if there was no significant increase, 350,000 is a respectable number.  It will be interested to see the amount they are able to donate to charity this year, which should come out in a couple weeks (I think it was about $100,000 last year).
