South Padre Island, Texas, Coming Apr. 15-17—“South Padre Island, a town with style—a folksy, warm, inviting style that welcomes visitors from all walks of life, is located on the tropical tip of Texas just 25 miles north of the Mexican border and is the premiere resort in Texas.” Sounds like Chamber of Commerce hype. However, in this case, it is absolutely true. Throw in an early spring motorcycle rally called Beach-N-Biker Fest and it is absolutely paradise. The Magic Valley Riders have definitely found the ideal place and the right time to host a motorcycle rally. ’Course this is only my opinion, but 4,999 other riders that paid the minimal $15 registration for the entire weekend apparently concurred.
