Attention Bikers and those who love them<br />
By Rocky & Kristine Fields<br />
2012 Oyster Run is scheduled<br />
for Sunday, September<br />
<strong>The</strong><br />
23. What is the Oyster Run<br />
This is the largest motorcycle<br />
event in the Pacific Northwest,<br />
currently enjoying it's<br />
31st year in existence.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Oyster Run ends<br />
in Anacortes, WA, but it begins wherever<br />
you decide to start from. <strong>The</strong>re's no specific<br />
start place or time, everyone just ends up<br />
in Anacortes. <strong>The</strong> idea is to pick your own<br />
route and support biker-friendly locations<br />
along the way.<br />
Although the run is a one-day event,<br />
many people make an entire weekend of it.<br />
Live music, vendors, motorcycles, and more<br />
motorcycles. Thousands of people flock the<br />
main drag in Anacortes and party all day<br />
long.<br />
It all started<br />
one day back in 1981<br />
when a few guys got<br />
together at the end<br />
of Summer to go for<br />
a ride and eat some<br />
oysters. Limp Lee<br />
gathered some biker<br />
buddies and they<br />
took their ride from<br />
the California Tavern<br />
in Marysville,<br />
and headed up Hwy 9, ending up in Edison<br />
the first year. <strong>The</strong> next year, the group had<br />
grown, and by the fourth year there were<br />
over 200 bikes along for the ride!<br />
As the years passed, they came to<br />
realize that there were too many people to<br />
organize a group ride up Hwy 9, so Limp<br />
Lee talked to the city of Anacortes about<br />
taking the group there. At first, the town<br />
seemed a little intimidated, and a lot of the<br />
shops closed up as the bikers arrived. But<br />
over time, more and more business owners<br />
stayed open, welcoming the group. And the<br />
rest is history, as they say!<br />
We’d like to ask for your support for our<br />
biker-friendly supporters. Find the whole<br />
list at http://oysterrun.org/sponsors.html. If<br />
you'd like to be a sponsor for the 2013 Oyster<br />
Run, contact them through the Website. New<br />
sponsors added yearly, so get out there and<br />
have some fun! Remember, you ride at your<br />
own risk, so ride responsibly and respectfully.<br />
All Buzz Inn locations, 13th Ave Pub in<br />
Lynnwood, and many, many other locations<br />
welcome YOU!<br />
