"Ride the Mountain" Brings Choppers Into Big Bear Lake, California.

This weekend will see an abundance (thousands) of rolling two-wheeled pieces of art traveling throughout Big Bear Valley and the San Bernardino mountains.

Big Bear Choppers brings their 6th annual Ride the Mountain event to Snow Summit Resort and have two days of custom bikes and antique choppers on display, as well as vendors and live music.

Bands featured include 82 Fifty with Rob Piazza and the Mighty Flyers on Saturday afternoon and Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe following the awards show on Sunday.

BBC rides into two days of fun

Six years ago, Kevin and Mona Alsop decided to branch out. Their business was growing, so why not share it. The first Ride the Mountain was born.

Ride the Mountain brought hundreds of motorcycle and chopper enthusiasts to the mountains. The first and second shows were at the Big Bear Convention Center. Big Bear Choppers grew and so did Ride the Mountain. The show moved to the Big Bear City Airport on the tarmac. Thousands of bikes rolled in, braved the summer thunderstorms and enjoyed a day riding the mountain.

Growth continued, and it was time to move the show again to Snow Summit Mountain Resort. Ride the Mountain took over the main parking lot and the Brownie Lane lot as well.
----
It’s time to grow again, but Ride the Mountain is staying put. Instead of a new location, the show expands to two days this year. Ride the Mountain is Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8.
----
Also on Saturday, is the Ride the Mountain Poker Run.
----
The run takes participants around the lake and throughout Big Bear Valley.
The Baker Drivetrain Bike Show is also Saturday, with awards on Sunday.
----
Kevin Alsop and his crew judge the show. There are three categories, Big Bear Choppers Builder, Big Bear Choppers Factory Built and Open classes. The Big Bear Choppers Builder and Factory Built classes are free to enter. The fee for the open class is $25.
----
Proceeds from Ride the Mountain benefit Big Bear Valley Recreation and Park District’s Teen Center.

Since there's a few bear lakes, which one is this?  Idaho? California? Montana?  It's a great story, but please try to include the location too. :)

 I believe Big Bear lake is in California.

Sorry!


Big Bear Lake sits approximately 6,500 feet elevation in the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California. It's roughly located 100 miles due East of downtown Los Angeles.


When one is flying into LAX from Las Vegas, Chicago, or New York, if one looks out the window about the time the pilot cuts the power back on the engines ... Big Bear Lake would be just under the plane.

Even though I'm more of a sportbike person than a cruiser person, I like this!
