This may be the best one so far that I have been to, #3 or 4, not sure.
I would not miss one of these and plan to go as long as Bob has them.
They are always great and Bob always displays some of his coolest bikes, no easy task as he probably has the best and most well curated collection that must number well into the hundreds.
This one was special as he displayed what looked to be 50 or more including several Davidson's as it is Bill's 50th anniversary and Bob has a stellar collection of them that were on full display for this, so cool and not lost on me that I have none.
I took all my Strawberry's and "Strawberry adjacent" bikes and frames, 3 bikes, 3 frames.
They got plenty of attention as I hoped they would so I felt like I did my part even though I was late, some were already leaving when I got there, some of them stopped and checked them out.
Saw @Robvolz, @bikingshearer and met @bulgie in person, probably others that I didn't know without their handle from here.
So many great folks, so much interest and knowledge that flows back and forth
Of course I got some pics and will post them later.

I had a lot of fun yesterday! Was very nice to meet several of you and to join together on the ride.
So many amazing bicycles and riders.
I had to leave before noon so we could get going on a road trip but I hope to stay much longer next year and meet even more folks.

A smaller turnout this year, a fine day nonetheless.
We started with a short ride in the upper valley before the BBQ. Here we are leaving Bob’s house

An old friend of Bob’s stopped by on his way up to the pass. I found his bike to be pretty cool. An old Davidson MTB e-bike conversion with Bruce Gordon racks.

Here are the pics I took, man what a spread.
Mine,
DiNucci built Strawberry
86 Strawberry
2014 40th Anniversary Specialized Allez, designed and specced by DiNucci with his proprietary lugs and Reynolds 853 tubing.
This is #80, 62cm, the very last one made.
This was built at Strawberry by Micheal Bornstein who came from Micheal's Cyclery in Ames Iowa to work for/with Andy for a year.
Another DiNucci built Strawberry, came from a dungeon in New Orleans, was just plain nasty but cleaned up fantastic.
And the final custom built for me by Dave Levy of TiCycles Strawberry that is the best riding bike I have, stunning and 25.4 lbs. as it sits here.
