    From what I have heard it is not an actual Hollister Independence Rally. I have made several attempts to get a straigt answer from the city with no luck.

    I know the Top Hatters poker run is starting at Johnny's and ending with a party at Corbin on Saturday. and on Sunday there is another poker run starting at the VFW and ending at the Veteran's building in town for a BBQ.

    Other than that I don't believe the city is doing anything.

    As of now I'm not planning on riding up there.

    Maybe someone from Hollister can give us some more info!

    Once upon a time I went to the Hollister rally and I met these people there. They were pretty cool and actually got me in with a vender pass. I ended up with some really great friends and I seem to run into them every time I go to a fun Rally! I love you Lucky and Laura!!I also met a great guy named Madmex and Master Airbrush Eric and of coarse DOC who could ever forget Doc.. still great friends with them all. Never underestimate a rally!!

    As they said when the city pulled it's support, "They can stop the rally, but they can't stop the run."

    I think we'll try to make one or both poker runs.

    Anyone else?

    Well Johnny we were going up on the 4th from OC, but we would look funny riding up there with casts on our legs so its not going to happen this year. There will however be LOTS of CycleFish people camping at the fairgrounds. Just look for the CycleFish banners and go over and say HI !!!

    Managed to make it to Hollister on Saturday,had a nice ride in,just about 80 miles from home.Missed some of the events,yet it was the best planned & maintained rally since I have been attending.Been nursing a sore tooth all week so wasnt sure about going.Woke up n the desire to ride was stronger then the pain LOL so I went late,didnt get there till about 1230? hung out till abt 600pm n there was still a whole lot of stuff n vendors I missed.Most likely as I spent a big amount of time just checking all the lovely machines scattered about,and llots of legs LOL  n other features that charmed the senses   wish now I had taken more pics as the 40 or so pics I did take,. didnt all come out that great,I posted one here I liked.

    All in all it was good thing I went,I really enjoyed getting to share some of that excitement again ! I looked real hard for some cyclefish folks didnt see any tho I did meet the most lovely lady at the Russ Brown Atty booth

    For those camping at Bolado Park --- We normally camp right in the middle, somewhere near the permanent rest room building. You will see the CycleFish Banners in our campsite. Of course everyone is welcome to camp with us, or at least stop by for a beer and say Hi !!!
