Bikes & Blues fest postponed until 2010

San Bernardino Professional Firefighters spokesman Tom Rubio just confirmed for me that the Berdoo Bikes & Blues Rendezvous won't happen this year.

But event organizers say the event is still expected to happen in 2010.

Bikes & Blues debuted in 2008. The streets of downtown San Bernardino filled with long lines of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, with a few Triumph and Indian models thrown in.

The event was set to make a return May 9 of this year. Rubio said the decision to postpone the event was based on the idea that one day was not enough for the festival and difficulties posed by the recession.

The dates and location for a 2010 event have yet to be announced. The event could be held April 30 and May 1 of 2010,
"We're having a little tough time getting sponsors," Rubio said.
