You've all been waiting for it! This year's Poker Ride is back where it belongs: right at the start of the season to test your lungs and legs.
Come ride with all your friends and meet some new ones on Saturday, May 11th.
The Poker Ride is a fun, all-inclusive riding event that will have you guessing whether or not you've won until the very end. Ride at your own pace, collect at least 5 Poker Chips or test your luck, and visit all 10 stations in the network.
Back this year:
*Advanced online pre-registration (save $10 per person!)
*Fun course with short and long options; check out/download the map here.
*Unique twist on the usual poker ride format that will keep you riding in suspense!
As always, amazing prizes from local businesses are to be won.
