Ventura Nationals Roll-In

The beginning of the big show. Saturday morning I’m up at 4am to be ready for the Ventura Nationals and to catch all the cool rides rolling into the show. Now usually I’m not there before a show begins or just a little before but the sunrises at the Ventura Nationals can be spectacular.

Early Risers: Donut Derelicts 7-23-22

Always a fun way to kickoff a Saturday at the world-famous Donut Derelicts. The weekly show is always a blast and in my many years of going only a few have had a small turnout. This last Saturday’s show was not one of them. The place was packed, just packed.
