Reno Street Vibrations....great trip

We had a wonderful, relaxing week. Enjoying what we love to do.... ride our motorcycle. We had planned our trip to Reno for months and looked forward to the ride down to the semi annual Street Vibrations event.
However the weather and rain would decide that our trip would turn out differently for us than we expected.

We had planned on riding down to Reno, taking two days to do so. Taking the back roads, through Susanville, Canby, Alturus and into Reno. But the rain moved into Oregon the weekend we were to leave.
We decided to load the bike onto the truck and drive it down and stay dry, and have a good time.

We arrived on Tuesday afternoon to cool but clear weather after driving through rainy skies most of the way down.


I snapped this picture on the way down, it was a bird sanctuary around Altrus, I believe.

We spent the next couple of days relaxing and taking in the event. There were lots of vendors there to check out on the strip, which was closed down to all traffic for the week for the event.

 Seth, taken up at Virginia City, we spent the days riding around the area and hills, Virginia City was on the map. Most of us made it up to Virginia City over the weekend. We ended up spending time up there for two days.
 
A view of the street on Friday, it was calmer on Friday than it was on Saturday, most bikers arrived in Virginia City on Saturday we found. Kind of crazy, but we had a good time. Our bike is parked near the flag.

Seth and I on Saturday ended up parking the bike at the beginning of C street coming into town. There must have been 2000-2500 bikes parked in Virginia City that day.... crazy!!

 Virginia City ... full throttle ....

Seth and I coming into town on Friday. Glad to have a picture of the two of us. A rare picture of the two of us on the bike together. We had a great time, I hope to go back someday.

Take care and God Bless,
Cathy
