Motorcyclists to converge for campout

If you see a lot of female bikers and men who support them hanging out downtown this weekend, it’s thanks to the Moto Habits Urban Campout. Fergusons Downtown and the Bunkhouse are joining forces with the Moto Habits motorcycle collective for a weekend of urban camping. The $60 package includes a campsite in either the Bunkhouse Backyard or Fergusons Alley, morning group rides, a Friday night concert at Bunkhouse, a beer garden, moto show and more daytime and nighttime activities all weekend. And while it’s co-ed, the focus is definitely on the ladies. Go to motohabits.com for tickets.
