The San Bernardino (Calif.) Convention and Visitors Bureau, producers of the massive Route 66 Rendezvous classic-car extravaganza, is announcing the formation of the Berdoo Bikes & Blues Rendezvous on May 2-3.
According to the news release:
The San Bernardino Convention and Visitors Bureau is partnering with the San Bernardino City Professional Firefighters, Local 891, to create a springtime event featuring motorcycles and music — complementing the city’s Route 66 Rendezvous that takes place each September.
Attractions will include a chili cook-off, live entertainment, a poker run, “Show & Shine” bike show, custom builders displaying their masterpieces and vendor and sponsor exhibits.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center Children’s Burn Unit.
The map shows that the festival will be fairly compact. But if it becomes as successful as the Rendezvous, don’t be surprised if this event expands greatly in scope.

Same weekend as the Seligman Fun Run…
The Fun Run doesn’t draw many bikes, so it’s not much of a conflict. Now, if it were the same weekend as the Laughlin River Run (April 23-27/08), THAT would be a conflict!
