Cycle Word's Rolling Concours (Honda Hoot - June 25, 2005)
On Saturday we participated in Cycle World Magazine's Rolling Concourse ride for vintage bikes 1985 and older. Provided with directions and a map we headed South out of downtown Knoxville on a 50 mile ride through the countryside. We arrived at a farm owned by a local farmer where a great barbeque lunch was provided. After lunch, we had time to inspect the 75+ vintage bikes that had made the journey. At 12:30 pm it was time to return to Knoxville for the judging. The follow photos show some of the many great bikes.
