On Sunday I spent the afternoon downtown Bremerton to take in the activities of the 19th Annual Blackberry Festival.  I parked a couple of blocks from the Bremerton Boardwalk and was glad I did because while on my walk to the Boardwalk I ran into the  4th Annual Blackberry Criterium. I really enjoyed watching the races and took this video to share with you.

Listening to the announcer I learned that these riders were sometimes traveling at around 22 mph! The race runs all day long with lots of different levels and types. There is also a race for those under the age of 11. Total cash prize given out was at least $3600! I was amazed that some of these races were over an hour in duration! I really enjoyed watching this event at the beginning of my day and as I was leaving the festival.
