I didn't know bike rallys included games! Looks like fun! Did you join in any, or just take pictures?

Games are fun, but I am usually the one taking the pictures.
The weenie bite is always hilarious, A hot dog is hung from a pole and covered with mustard. Then you have to ride your bike under it and the person has to bite it. Cant touch it with your hands or the put your feet on the ground.
Balloon toss is also fun when the water balloon breaks.
There is also the Chonie challenge where you have 2 people on abike. The one on the back has a bag full of undergarments that have to be pinned on a clothes line.Not as easy as it sounds.
The slow race, whoever goes the slowest wins. Also pretty hard.
Find the pottato in the hay stack. A bunch of bikes ride in a big circle around a hay stack. When the gun goes off the gals on the back have to jump off and find the potato somewhere in that hay stack
Who would have ever thought a bunch of scary looking bikers would play such silly games

Looks like fun !! Makes me wish I still went out to Laconia for Bike Week. But haven't been in a few years. Got really freaked the last time and decided it just wasn't worth it. However, last kid will be in college shortly ... and we're already talking about getting a couple of bikes. Anyway, love the PP on that 2nd shot

Wow Windrider, looks like a great time was had by all. Your friend Abel look just like a friend of mine, that is so weird. I bet that would have been great to hang around and just watch all the fun and I can imagine it would sound pretty good too.

Jake.

Who would have thought! We happened to have spent a few days in Daytona last year during the Spring Bike Week. It was fabulous, but I must have missed the venues with the games, because I didn't see any of that! Having used my bike (back in the day when I had one) to commute back and forth to work in Atlanta rush hour traffic, I'll bet I could do really well in that slow race!
