Attendance figures weren’t available for the inaugural Berdoo Bikes & Blues Rendezvous in San Bernardino, Calif., this past weekend. But all evidence points to a successful one, reports the Press-Enterprise:
Blanco said she was happy with the two-day event’s turnout: 3,000 people and 1,500 motorcycles attended Friday night.
She did not have total attendance figures for Saturday but said a 66-mile organized ride that day attracted nearly 400 riders, almost double the expected number.
Blanco said she did not have an estimate of economic impact from the motorcycle show, but said last year’s fall car show contributed $1.2 million to the city.
The event is an offshoot of the city’s enormously successful Route 66 Rendezvous.
